[disklavier] Treasure Trove of Pop Music

1999-12-05 by Todd Muncy

I am currently uploading a huge file of pop music into a new pop music folder. It completely fills a high density 1.44MB floppy. Its 100% piano solo, reasonably well played, 60 cuts totally 210 minutes of playing time. I got the music from the excellent site Dave Vincent recommended. Unfortunately the site has no zip file available so it was quite laborious. I converted it to a HD E-Seq disk. I had to leave off about 10% of the stuff to get it to fit. I left off the few Xmas tunes and a couple clunkers. If you can't deal with an E-SEQ disk that's not Dbl Density, you have two choices:
1. Divide the files into two floppies and use a utility to reindex the files.
2. Go to the site and download all the midi files.
Enjoy
Todd

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.
