This Mini-FAQ is intended help answer such questions as:
Where can I ftp MIDI files from
Where can I find the MIDI specs
Where can I find MIDI programs.

Many MIDI files can be found at ftp.cs.ruu.nl [131.211.80.17] in the directory /pub/MIDI/SONGS. A list of the songs is in /pub/MIDI/SONGS/LIST. Midi programs in /pub/MIDI/PROGRAMS and subdirectories for various computers. MIDI specs and lots of more doc in /pub/MIDI/DOC/. More ftp sites can be found in the file /pub/MIDI/DOC/archives
These are also available on the WWW:MIDI archive

All these files can be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to mail-server@cs.ruu.nl with the contents: send HELP.
