List of 6000 zipped midi songs A-Z

[Jim Turner]

Hi folks, I have had great trouble with my computer, ending with it crashing and I have lost the file of midis posted a few years ago containing over 6000 songs.  I am beside myself with anger and my poor wife said for goodness sake post a request and somebody may put you out of your misery.  The file was zipped and required winzip to open it.  If you can assist me I shall be most grateful. Thank you.

Hello Jim !
Do you have the name of the file you are looking for
Maybe I can have it on an older harddrive and can
search for it later
Best regards

I'm not sure this is the file you're thinking of, but it is a very large zipped collection of MIDIs:

2009.GeoCities.MIDI.ArchiveTeam.zip     427,253KB

Sorry, it is too large to attach here or even send as an e-mail attachment.

Hello Jtrue,

Just place this file (2 GB max) on WeTransfer https://wetransfer.com (free) to load your 427,253 KB file.
Then enter a second personal email address or that of a friend and you will get a link valid for 7 days.

It is this link that can be transmitted, either on a PSR message, or more discreetly by email for Jimturner (see the list of members to send him the link by mail).

Not better

Best Regards

I found this list of 51,000 MIDI songs in an archive of GeoCities which was retrieved before it was shut down. I haven't checked these myself so I don't know the quality of these files. 417mb zip. Link is after quote below.

   The GEOCITIES MIDI SWIPE Version 1.0
         FLAT AND UNIQUE Version
      Compiled on November 10, 2009

On October 27, 2009, Yahoo! Inc. shut down the Geocities service, a collection of
free webpages with entries and hosted sites dating back to 1995. Along with this
shutdown was the destruction of millions of files and history, lost to the dustbin
of time.

...well, except what dozens of people from around the world were desperately
downloading as fast as they could. This band of archivists, including members of
Archive Team, Reocities, Geocities.ws, and many others, did their best to ensure
at least a portion of this collection of files would live on.

This is a quick and dirty collection of MIDI files taken from the Neighborhoods of
Geocities, given arbitrary unique names and sorted by first letter/character. MIDI
files could be summoned by browsers when visiting a website and could provide a
music soundtrack while looking at that page. The MIDI files themselves came from
a wide variety of sources, professional and amateur, and represent, in most cases,
commercial songs re-written for the MIDI format. Some have credits baked into the
files; others do not. Some are complicated orchestrations using the best of what
the MIDI format has to offer, while others are simplistic and repetitive.

Please note that many of these files have been renamed arbitrarily to allow all the
filenames to fit into flat directories, and should not be considered the actual
names used by the website authors when putting together their sites. A simple dupe
checking has occurred so the exact same file doesn't appear in multiple places,
although any changes to the file in any way over time would make it appear to be
different even though the music would not. Also note that copyright and creator's
rights still exist for both the music and the files themselves, and no use of
these files is implied or permitted by Archive Team's compiling of them.

In total, over 51,000 songs are located in this collection, spanning the full
1995-2009 lifetime of Geocities.

My heartfelt thanks to everybody for coming to the rescue.  I have downloaded the files and will spend the next few days sifting through them.  My missus is very relieved!!
