Mind you, there is enough material for several such packages especially if one goes back to the out of copyright materials.
Orthodox: The Ancient Faith Psalter OR The Psalter: According to the Seventy Catholic: The Mundelein Psalter OR The Abbey Psalter (Genesee Abbey) Anglican: The Plainsong Psalter OR The Anglican Chant Psalter
I'm interested in these ones, personally.
I'd also like to see the Ancient Faith Psalter added!

Psalm SINGING is an important part of Christianity, even if some denominations are only studying it as history. We need the older psalters as much if not more than the new ones. And some commentaries and manuals of how to use them.
I try to pick up all psalters offered by Faithlife which is not to say that I have caught them all. My collection has:
