    I was a big user of swappano and pianofiles and the like before they all got taken down.

    For those unfamiliar, these are sites where people list music books they have and want and can exchange pdf files with other users.

    It's well known that these books go out of print quickly and not many are produced, especially for older bands. Used, some of these books can list for hundreds of dollars (or insert currency here).

    1966 Gary Lewis and the Playbooks is listed at $399.99 + shipping. Elton John Super Deluxe 1977 songbook is listed at $599 for buy it now or $389 if you
    want to bid on it.

    So, a lot of people share their pdf scans.

    I just wondered if there's any one else around who collect/swap songbooks and would be interested in swapping lists.

    I would be more than happy to create a file section here on SS3 for people to share those things in if there is any interest in it. If someone has a collection they would like to upload just let me know and I'll make the file section.

    I guess you just need to make sure that particular file area isn't browsable from the web if you have an interface into your BBS files area. ---

    This BBS is not tied into my webpage or running the web server included with Mystic.

    I am willing to pay for sheet music and songbooks, but when I seek material that is out of print, I am forced to do without or to obtain a copy--paid or otherwise--wherein the creator receives no recompense. I prefer the latter; if the publisher declines to make the work available in printed or digital form, what else is one to do?
