Batch 21 Uploaded

2006-02-03 by Terry Smythe

Just a brief note to advise that my Batch 21 of midi type 1 
files emerging from roll scanning is now uploaded and available 
at:

http://members.shaw.ca/smythe/batch21.htm

Or it may be downloaded directly from:

http://members.shaw.ca/paud122/batch21.ZIP

This batch contains 157 titles, bring the total to 3,825.

By chance, it represents the first batch that does not contain 
any roll scans of my own. It is encouraging that others are 
building roll scanners and contributing their midi files to this 
ever growing library.  Special thanks to:

*  Larry Doe for contributing 100+ midi files from his own 
scanning efforts. 

*  Dave Kerr for contributing 50+ midi files from his own 
scanning efforts. 

*  Ed Gaida for contributing some midi files from scanning a 
couple of late reproducing program piano rolls

Prior visitors will note a difference.    I have rebuilt my web 
site, principally to rename my earlier uploads into a consistent 
convention of tune title ahead of catalog number.     As a 
consequence, the previous batch orientation had to be abandoned. 
100% of all my files up to and including batch 20 are now 
available in ZIP files segragated by roll type.     Those 
inclined may want to download everything and simply delete 
previous batches.  

The complete offerings of all previous batches in new format may 
be accessed and downloaded from:

http://members.shaw.ca/smythe/archive.htm

Previous visitors to this "archive.htm" page may need to 
"refresh" a couple of times to force loading off the web site 
instead of from cache.    Otherwise, links may not work.

As before, these files may be used for personal enjoyment only 
to operate pneumatic player pianos equipped with e-valves, or 
solenoid operated player pianos, or on digital pianos through a 
MIDI-IN port from a nearby computer or by transferring to floppy 
disks.   They will, of course, "play" on most any computer 
capable of accepting midi type 1 files.

Enjoy!

Regards,

Terry

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
