The tricky part with the 100k downloads is that you do not have all the meta data for each file. You just have the filename, so some are just called “index.mid”. Which I guess is nice for a random surprise when you play it.

My shameless plug is my old MIDI site called MIDI Delight. I had user registration, ratings, comments, top 10 lists, etc. I always wanted to get it working again like you did. It would be cool to see more user features added on your site.

I’m glad there is a new MIDI site carry the torch.

Exactly I wanted to hear doom soundtrack music but "doom" did not work.

https://bitmidi.com/search?q=doom

I had to dig more to remember the level format and search for https://bitmidi.com/search?q=E1m4

Perhaps a crawler can find the identical file (checksum/md5) and collect meta data: alternate filenames, urls, zip archive names... It was next to this file in this list/zip archive... And in this sub folder name, on this page on this wayback machine link... So associations can be built automatically?

Also for each unique checksum with listed alternate file names, Perhaps user content: ratings, similar files, comments... A wiki like page where the automaticly generated meta data can be vetted... Oh and suggested sound font and other settings to play that particular file maybe.

Fun challenge!

BTW https://bitmidi.com/search?q=E1m1 crashes it for me.

It's cool you can drag a file on it to play. Except on mobile, so perhaps the ability to play from url.

Awesome work, thanks! Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

I'm interested in finding ways to better organize the MIDI files. I'm curious how you figured out which category to put each MIDI file in on your website. Was that done manually by you?

Yup I had a whole UI to add the MIDI’s and apply a genre. Plus I would get the time and size etc from the file when I uploaded it. Much of it was manual. Also the reason why I never got to 100k :(
