With this discussion of MIDI file formatted song files, I was wondering
if there is any interest in starting a library of songs.  Sometimes I
just want to get away from my own stuff and listen to other people's
pre-recorded sequences.  I have downloaded some sequences from IEMUG
and some other BBSs.  They are in Cakewalk format.  However, I have
version 3.0 of Cakewalk and would be willing to convert some of the
better ones to Cakewalk's purported MIDI file format for use in the
EMUSIC Listserver, if there is room there and if there is interest.

Another idea just popped up...  I have some PD sequences that only have
one track and need to be filled out; percussion, accompaniment...
Maybe someone can beef them up, improve on them and resubmit them to
the library.

What do you say folks?  Interested?
