On the contrary...yes, there is a lot of stuff out there, but a lot of them
is not very good.

If you like jazz try: http://members.aol.com/Towerwrath/splash.html

** all the sites I've found were through search engins using   "MIDI"  "midi
Piano" "jazz midi"....etc. as  the subject to search for....also follow the
links from most of these sites...then you'll really be surfing.  Also, the
HAL MUSIC, ALFRED...and some other music publisher's homepages offer links
to many good sites.
there are several ways to down load there files but I like to listen to them
first then save them directly using the sequencer program or you can "right
click" on the song name and click on "save target as..." this opens a window
where you can select the location where to save the file...pick "A:" stick a
disk in drive "A"(for example) and edit the file name if  you want to (but
make sure it's a midi file you're downloading ...when you're satisfied click
on SAVE.    the reason i say to check the file type is because sometimes
there website operators only allow you to listen to their music and what you
might actually be doing is downloading a "html" page.

anyways, this is my favorite way to down load...it's faster this way.
LATER, you can always open up the files you've downloaded to edit them or
delete them if you don't like them.

only after, you've collected, you favorite songs, and you've got them
playing in the background should  you be really able to lean back and enjoy
your glass of wine. (w/in limits of course)

good luck, enjoy.
