*** rec.music.info - List of Internet Musical Resources ***

This forthnightly posted list of resources is maintained by the current
rec.music.info moderator, Leo Breebaart, who can be reached at
rec-music-info@cp.tn.tudelft.nl.

All comments, updates, new additions, etc. are more than welcome -- I rely
entirely on reader feedback to keep this list up-to-date.

If you are not familiar with some of the concepts mentioned below (e.g.
mailing lists, finger), check out the introductory articles found in
news.announce.newusers and news.answers, or ask somebody more experienced
to help you.


INTERNET MUSICAL RESOURCES

*** Mailing Lists

At the moment of writing there are over 165 mailing lists one can subscribe
to for in-depth discussions about specific artists or specific musical
genres.

Jason Kraley and John Rowland from the Cleveland Free-Net Music SIG are
maintainers of a canonical list of information about these mailing lists,
including the addresses to write to if you want to subscribe.

This list is called the Musical List of Lists (or mlol), and is itself
appropriately distributed through a mailing list. The latest version of the
list can always be found in the Music FTP Archive as
/pub/music/misc/mail.lists.music, and is also regularly posted to
rec.music.info.


*** Mail Servers

*** WAIS Sources

There are a few WAIS music-related databases. So far, they are few enough
so that I can include the entire WAIS source description here. This may
change as the list grows larger.

   :maintainer "sridhar@enuxha.eas.asu.edu"
   :description "

   Database of CDs of Indian Classical Music. 
   You can search using keywords containing Ragas or Musician's name
   or anything that is present as a word in the database. 
   
   Try Ali or Khan or Ravi or Shankar or Krishnan  as a
   first search and see what format the database is in. Perhaps you
   might get an idea on what to search for. 

   At present, this database contains mainly CDs of Hindustani
   Musicians. But please be patient. This database is still in
   development.

   This database eventually would be a collection of all Hindustani
   and Karnatic (or Carnatic) CDs available. 

   Your feedback and input is highly valued and is appreciated.

e-mail requests.

Search for the word 'index' to get the index file.
