Mandozine

[Bill McCall]

With the unfortunate passing of John Baxter, does anyone know if any part of the contents are going to be preserved in some manner? It would be nice of the tab library was merged to this site, as an example.

[Mark Gunter]

Bill, you can download all the Tabledit files in a zip file from the mandozine site. The download archive was last updated in 2012, so I’m not sure whether it contains every last file because I don’t know if any were added after that date. I realize this is not what you were asking, but offering that as an FYI.

The tabledit songs seem to be not working...anyone know if the site is being maintained? Or is it the end of an era?

[Bill McCall]

Everything else seems to work.

The Internet Archive (AKA The Wayback Machine) appears to have a fairly recent copy of the Mandozine pages that I checked. www.archive.org is the main site. No affiliation with them other than I believe in what they're doing and I toss them a few bucks occasionally.

I checked the Wayback, the tab files seem to not be archived. I did manage to download the allfiles zip from Mandozine, though.

[MontanaMatt]

I will get them onto my pc ASAP...it won’t save of unzip to my iPad

[rdmay53]

Checked Mandozine.com this morning, "Page not found". I suppose it's gone.

[MontanaMatt]

Wow, I missed getting the zip file! I guess I was witnessing it’s demise

[Drew Egerton]

dang, lots of good stuff on there...

[sgarrity]

Very sad....

How do you find it on that site? I tried searching and no luck.

Go to www.archive.org and enter www.mandozine.com in the Wayback machine's search box. Select Meta data. You'll get this page. The calendar will be marked. Those indicate the last times the site was archived. Click on the marked dates.

I was fearing the day this was going to happen. I actually downloaded the "all files" tabledit zip a couple weeks ago. It's a shame to lose that amazing searchable database, but here's a link to a copy of the zipped files for now.

Of course, if anyone has objections with my sharing I'll take it down immediately. These files were a huge help when I first started playing.

Thanks,
Baron

got it ... thanks!

[Phil Goodson]

I'm still finding a zip of allfiles at this link.

The files are still viewable and can be downloaded. You might have to save them to your computer to open and view each file. Not sure.

[DocT]

I really hope his family, or someone will make all of his hard work available. Mandozine was the most helpful site for this beginner, and I know for more advanced players, too.

[Baron Collins-Hill]

I would be happy to host the site, but don't know who to reach out to about such a project. Any leads?

Thanks,
Baron

Baron, you might PM Scott Tichenor. Pretty sure he can get you started.

[MontanaMatt]

The site is back, sort of...
Can’t search song data base or get to the tef files directly yet, for my iPad that is.
Fingers crossed

Another big thank you for making this available. I've only been playing a couple of years but Mandozine was my go-to place for a lot of help. I thought I downloaded the zipped files a few days ago but later found out there was nothing there when I went to open it.

Thank you!

Does anyone have the all files zip? The google drive link is saying its been moved to trash.

[Joel Osborne]

Mr. Baron Collins-Hill has a link in his post #14. It works I just downloaded the zip file.

Thanks, I got it. I've been using this resource for many years, does anyone know what going on with the site? If they need somone to take it over I would be happy to help.
