Greetings Walter,

I believe Terry has a listing available. At one point I wrote a
program (mainly for his use)to dump all the text information in his
files to a tabbed text file. I have a variety of similar program that
I use for my own cataloging and will make sure the current (relatively
bug free) versions are available if anyone wants them. One program
lists all text events and track names. If text events are marked with
keywords in a manner that Terry adopted, at one point, they will fall
into the same column. One program will list all the data to an excel
file and will make hyperlinks to the file locations. You can play the
linked file by clicking on the link. The player that is associated
with .mid files will open and play the file. For the truly compulsive,
the excel sheet can be converted to an access database and serve as
the basis for a true filterable database from which you can do all
sorts of filtering and sorting.

I also wrote a program that allows you to select a bunch of file paths
from the database and play them "playlist" fashion. However it has a
serious memory leak that I can not fix because I am using a program
module that has a serious bug and can not program around it. I would
be interested in seeing someone else, who can write MIDI applications
in C, write a similar application that does work properly. My program
does work but it will eventually use up all your memory until you
reboot.
