[QUOTE=silverfish]  
I’ve done a bit more delving, and got some assistance, and I think I’ve worked out what some of the others are. I think 2 is The Easy Winners, 5 is Pineapple Rag, and 6 is Elite Syncopations, all by Scott Joplin.

Thanks for the help! I checked your suggestions against the tunes provided at [Warren Trachtman’s Ragtime MIDI Website](http://www.trachtman.org/ragtime/) and they seem to match perfectly!

Here’s an updated version of the list, then:

Song 1 sounds like a rock tune, and Song 10 is definitely ragtime. Anyone else have any ideas?
