2009 E-comp

2011-01-13 by Spencer chase

the MIDI files for the 2009 E-comp seem to have been removed from 
Yamaha's site. Anyone know why or where they can be gotten?

They seem to be back, other than the files from China.  You made me nervous, though, so I just downloaded them all just in case they ever do truly vanish!

You are totally right -- they're broken now.  They worked fine when I tried last night, and I downloaded everything in both XP and Enhanced formats -- 158 files.  Even images on that page are broken now.  They must be moving stuff around to get ready for the next competition, maybe?  But it's not just you -- that page is broken now.

i got 218 xp files from another source but it does not seem to cover everything on the page. i do have the Chinese stuff, that was withdrawn. do you want to trade files? i am in the process of making txt files for use with Mid2PianoCD. i have the files for all the previous stuff. it is quite a job copying and converting all this stuff because they are not necessarily numbered sequentially so i have to do things manually that i would otherwise do automatically with scripts.

Those links have been broken for some time. But try inserting /ecompetition into 
the path, for instance:

http://www.yamaha.com/ecompetition/MIDIFiles/2009/XPMIDIFiles2009/Yang_C_XP.zip

instead of

http://www.yamaha.com/MIDIFiles/2009/XPMIDIFiles2009/Yang_C_XP2.zip

Hope this helps,
Mikhail

Thanks, that did it but it was sure a bitch. I had to copy the bad links 
from the site to a text file, add the missing part and then grab all the 
zip files using the correct links. I don't understand why Yamaha leaves 
this sort of error on their site. Doesn't all this free music help to 
sell Disklaviers? They spend a fortune doing the competition and then 
make it a major chore for anyone to listen to the music.

I now have a complete set of all the E-comps performances and text files 
for adding meta data to wither MIDI files or MP3s.

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.
