I'm glad you're finding some good stuff in the archives and like the new versions of the spy stuff. I don't plan to rename any of the tracks, except in the occasional event where I notice that I duplicated a name. As it turns out, when you compose a thousand or so tracks and try to use a two-word naming scheme, every once in a while a repeat sneaks in there. I'm actually in the process of making a master spreadsheet with all my tracks listed on it. Might take a while.
The one thing I want to do, but worry it will create confusion, is shuffling some tracks into new packs. Like... I might retire the Sci-Fi packs, and rebrand them as Cosmic Frontier, but some of the tracks in Sci-Fi vol. 02 really seem more like Cyber City tracks to me. So basically, I'll confuse everyone. But I'll definitely be aiming to reshuffle things in a way where nobody ends up paying for tracks they already have.
Why, you may ask, can I not just leave well enough alone? I have no answer. And may yet reconfigure plans... though I'm definitely remastering a load of music.

Hey! Thanks for the tracks, they're awesome. I like this mix with fewer instruments. It fits in well with the types of projects I usually work on (2D RPGs and smaller games), so that's great. They'd work really well for an infiltration mission, for example.
About remastering and reorganizing your catalog, I understand why you'd want to do it. After all, some of the material was published quite a few years ago, and this would allow you to give it a second life. If possible, the only thing I'd ask is that the remastered tracks keep the same name as the originals, or that we at least have a spreadsheet or something similar so we can look up which tracks correspond to which. Your catalog is huge, and this would help me a lot to get organized, personally.
Whatever you do, I'll be delighted to see it (and, above all, hear it)!
By the way, I've been listening to the tracks that I missed over the last couple of years and I've been enjoying them a lot. I really like some of the Patron packs you've released here, like the "Mystical Magic" and the "Guitar Energy" ones, for example.
Best wishes!
