site is fast-loading and pop-up-ad free.

resource from Denmark, this site offers many sound files,
arranged alphabetically by artist. There are movie and TV
themes, jazz and Danish-related files. Lots of top
popular music artists are here, as well. Tell Leif we
sent you.
Guitar Online
- This relatively small but
growing German archive features not only free MIDIs, but
also guitar chords, so you may learn to play the tunes
yourself, while you listen to them. All documents are in
ZIP form for faster downloads. A nice idea.
MIDIPalace98
- This Malaysian site offers
lots of "hand-picked" MIDI files here in
uncompressed form, so you can just click them to hear
them. However, you'll need a Java-enhanced browser (read:
a non-ancient browser) to access this site. Categories
include music in the following categories: Asian, Hymns,
Jazz, Themes and more.
