Doc Wilson's website is one of the best, including a good
variety of midi files from classic to modern ragtime. It also has the "Ragtime Midi Index," which is a great place
to look for ragtime midis or even sheet music.

"Perfessor" Bill Edwards's website is an extremely thorough,
pleasant place to visit. The
"Perfessor" has posted hundreds of hand played midis for sampling, along with
sheet music covers, composer biographies, guides for playing ragtime, ragtime
recordings for sale, and links to just about anywhere in the ragtime community.

The University of Colorado website is the best source for
finding public domain ragtime music on the Internet. Don't expect to find too many by Joplin or the other
biggies; do expect to find a lot of great, but sometimes overlooked raggy
tunes.

ragtime midis. It's all too easy
to lose track of time browsing the alphabetical index of recordings.
