FTP Sites for Midi Files
By Terry Smythe

Several months ago, I installed a Sound Blaster card in my home computer, but never really much with it. Until recently that is.......

I visited that ragtimer ftp site that has a large number of .mid files of ragtime and related music, and brought in about 60 of them. About 50 of them work with the Sound Blaster software just fine, I can queue them up for continuous sequential performance, tuck it into the background and have several hours of uninterrupted music while I continue on with other work (within Windows). Great new addition!

Flushed with success, I'm now poking around the 'Net hoping to find other music that may be of interest, such as the light familiar classics, other player piano music (?), or whatever.

Any suggestions?

Regards,

Terry
