Direct Music examples

Anyone know how to obtain the Direct Music samples mentioned in the Dx9 docs The docs direct you to the <sdk>/Samples/C++/DirectMusic directory which doesn't exist (for me, anyway).

    Thanks, ZMan.

    From the looks of things at msdn, it appeared they were dropping support but I couldn't find anything definitive. Thanks for the links.

    Thanks for the clarification... but does sustained mode mean supported or unsupported especially given your post the other day about how MS only support the last 3 SDKs (and how does this apply to deprecated components that are still shipped in the SDK )

    I should have just posted a link to the fourm FAQ http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=69459&SiteID=1

    DirectSound still exists, DirectMusic is what is deperecated.

    Not deprecated. Sustained mode. There's a difference.
    When we say "deprecated", it means, "There's another/better way to do this now."
    When we say "sustained", it means "We are investigating an alternative approach and will announce something as soon as possible".

    Since DirectMusic has been deprecated its not been in the last few SDK sample. I would try to download an earlier one (SDK links). I can't remember when they were dropped but try Summer 04
