Well, I've consider it. ;-) Storage is one reason for not doing it. Another is the question of whether (or which) sites' owners would agree to being mirrored this way. I'd guess that a lot would, but a few would object to the idea. I wouldn't want to collect everyone else's tunes this way without their permission. Of course, google does this sort of thing, and the google cache is often very useful. But I'd think we'd want a bit of a public discussion before caching other people's tunes like this.
