A long time ago I had collected some Indian tunes (there’s also one from across the western border) in the MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) format. Thought of passing them on (if you were expecting MP3s or human sounds, sorry to disappoint). You can simply listen to them or karaoke or use them as mobile phone ringtones (except for the National Anthem). The biggest advantage of MIDIs is their size, only a few kilobytes and that’s all. But to save on server space and ease downloading especially on ultra-low bandwidth connections like mine, I’ve zipped the files. Hope you don’t mind the unzipping process (pun, if any, unintended).
