Sphemusator suggested a place to list other public domain music sites, so this thread is for that.

I'll add my own ( http://www.emeraldimp.com/home/music/files.php ) and reiterate Sphemusator's ( http://360.yahoo.com/kittybriton ).[/url]

Well we had a rather complete list of websites on IMSLP...

We have a rather complete list of websites.

Anything else I should grab from Google cache before it vanishes?

I noticed "(IMSLP is not dead, it is just resting.)" on your link. Thank you, Leonard.

I personally prefer the word hibernating, seeing that winter is around the corner.

Summer down here.

Ah yes. Still, it's good to know our contributions aren't going to waste.

Unacceptable! I have been an avid user of IMSLP for 2 years now, and my school's students used it every so often too.

Could IMSLP be integrated into another portion of a website, such as SourceForge? If not, I have a team of students at my high school who are interested in taking in some music, but only music for composers dead for 73+ years. (Sorry, my friends and I don't want to get into legal jumbo, and fortunately in the USA we are protected by the 73+ rule)

the +73 rule?? Never heard of it. You probably mean the pre-1923 rule. Actually it's a bit more complicated than that. I'll ask Leonard to dig out the public domain page from the website, which explains almost everything.

can host all scores which are PD in the US (pre-1923) and the country of origin (i.e. in Europe 70 years after the death of the composer).

I was just about to suggest that. Great thinking!
