Correction:
Does anyone know a public domain source, i.e.via FTP, of Midi digital
music files for the Mac?

     Noting the above discussion about contaminating comp.music when postings
are not of academic value, I WILL PROCEED TO CONTAMINATE THIS NEWS GROUP
WITH A TECHNICAL QUESTION ABOUT MIDI FILES. 

     I just bought TRAX, an excellent low-priced sequencer for the MAC,
which is capable of importing gerneric MIDI files.  All I can find on several
bulleton boards, however, are files for Concertware + Midi and Sound Studio,
non of which are generic MIDI files and non of which I can read with TRAX.

	What's a body to do?  Is there a yet undiscovered motherload of generic
MIDI files?  Is there a utility that can convert these files to generic
MIDI?  Is there a common file format by which MIDI users can and do exchange 
their workmanship?
