midi music and programs. Mirrors of the MIDI/SONGS directory or the whole
archive can be found on the following sites:

A large collection of midifiles can be found on ftp.wustl.edu, in

specific for the Gravis Ultrasound card but most are also usable for other
synthesizers. Other format music files can be found in parallel directories.

The main Gravis Ultrasound ftp archive is now ftp.orst.edu:pub/packages/gravis/
but Gravis themselves have a WWW site at http://www.gravis.com

Another archive with many midifiles is dbp.caltech.edu:/pub/songs
