hey does anyone who uses the Sheet Music Archive [www.sheetmusicarchive.com] know what happened to the site? it's been redirecting to some other site for a few days now... anyone with info on this?

I noticed this too.. I most surely hope it will be un 'n running soon. It would be a shame to loose such a great resource!

It keeps sending me to gotoo.com whats up with that?

I've also noticed that everytime I try going there, something comes up say that I won, congratulations! Does anyone eles see this as well?

Yes I do,
it's just a trick (hate those )

i really hope it's just a temporary thing...

I hope it's temporary too.

I've written to their webmaster and their technical contact (found the listing in the WhoIs directory of NetworkSolutions).
It says he is from India.

I'll let you know if I find out anything.

Back in June, I ordered a CD containing all the material from the website in PDF format. The contact information was:

Sheet Music Archive Ordering Page
... your payment of $9.95 with your name and address to: The Sheet Music Archive c/o
Natex Communications, Inc. 86 South Street, Suite C-3, Morristown, NJ 07960

It now sends me to half.com instead of goto.com but that annyoing you won thing still pops up. Does anyone know whats going on yet?

here's what someone posted over on Larry's site:


Looks like the domain name registration either expired and Natex intentionally or unintentionally didn't renew it, or the domain name has been hijacked (through Bulkregister by a company in India it appears). If you really need to get some of the PDF files, they're still visible on the Natex server at www.sheetmusicarchive.org *IF* you set your DNS lookup to use the Natex servers (at 65.192.75.3 and 65.192.75.5). If you don't know how to do this, go to http://www.opennic.unrated.net/personal.html for a quick explanation. If this is still all very confusing, email the owners of the Sheet Music Archive at sma@natex.com to ask them about getting the Sheet Music Archive back up.


It's all geek to me

major thank u for the info DT!! =]

i tried changing my DNS settings but it gives me a bad gateway error and i don't normally use a gateway... maybe it only works in the US...=[ i hope it gets back up soon...

The site is up and running, they just lost the use of the name (temporarily, I hope). In the meantime, instead of typing in www.sheetmusicarchive.org, type in http://65.192.75.39 or click this link . Let me know if it doesn't work.

Wow, thanks Matt!! Your link works, thanks for finding it for us!!!! That is such a great site, I was really upset when I thought it was gone forever....it's such a fabulous reference for sound clips as well as sheet music.

Hi Everyone,

I tried http://www.sheetmusicarchive.net/ and it works for me. See, it's a .net now, I guess instead of .com or .org... Go figure!

Hope this helps,
Nathan
