Some more midifiles can be found at a mail server at at&t (see info below).

There is also a listserv containing e-music related stuff at American
University.
Send a message to listserv@auvm.bitnet containing the line:

AT&T:
The following information is being provided in response to your request
for information on the 'midi-archive' archive service.  The midi-archive
is a mechanism by which you can send mail (to midi-archive@blink.att.com)
and receive, in return mail, various files/programs/information from the
Mostly MIDI Mailing List (MMML) archives.

The mail you send to midi-archive@blink.att.com must contain one or more
lines in the following format:

   - The line must begin with the word "send".

   - The second word on the line should be your internet-style
     mail address.  Bitnet addresses (e.g. login@machine.bitnet)
     will also work.

   - The third word on the line is a request keyword.  To get a specific
     file from the archive (once you know its name), use the file name
     as the keyword.  The following are some of the special keywords
     you can use to get special things:

         info    - Returns general info on the archive (ie. the
                   description you are now reading),

         summary - Returns a (manually created) description of some of
                   the more interesting archive entries.

         list    - Returns a list (ls -l) of the current contents
                   of the archives.  This will always give you the most
                   up-to-date listing, as opposed to the 'summary'

         members - Returns a list of the current members of
                   the Mostly MIDI mailing list.

You can put more than one keyword on the same line, and can include multiple
'send' lines.  As an example, the following mail would request 3 items
('midiintro' is one of the files in the archive):

mail midi-archive@blink.att.com <<EOF
send tjt@blink.att.com summary
send tjt@blink.att.com midiintro list
EOF

Any questions/problems, send mail to tjt@blink.att.com.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: I am setting up a midi archive on our machine, so if you have info
about PD stuff (programs and midifiles) please share with me. And if you
want to share some of your own things that will be appreciated.
The archive is available with ftp from ftp.cs.ruu.nl [131.211.80.17],
directory MIDI. Also by a mail-server - send mail to mail-server@cs.ruu.nl
with the following contents:
BEGIN
PATH <a valid mail address to you>
HELP
send MIDI/INDEX
END
Note: specify a correct address (e.g. user@host.univ.edu or user@host.BITNET)
