Where do they come from? Users. The site’s original purpose was simple: upload, download, rate, and discuss MIDI renditions. Unlike corporate-owned services, Nonstop2K never purged “low-quality” uploads. So you’ll find pristine, multi-channel arrangements sitting next to bizarre, off-key piano-only transcriptions made by a teenager in 1998.

As one anonymous uploader put it in a 2010 forum post (still visible on the site): “I’m not stealing the song. I’m telling my computer how to play it. That’s different.”

Which of MIDI files are you most interested in finding (e.g., EDM, Techno, or Pop)?
