Although all of the MIDI and MOD files are here at my server at Geocities, some of the WAVs and MP2s are links to other sites:

The Unofficial Konami Home Page
Video Game Archive
Rob's Castlevania 2 Page
Video Game Soundtracks Page

Additionally, the following are links to various game music pages where I found these files:
RPGFan Wrote some of the MIDIs here.
Video Game Music Archive Very big site! Ever since the tune "Vampire Killer" rang out in the first Castlevania game, there's been interest in the incredible music from this series. Most of it seems to be taken from Castlevania 2, widely regarded to have the best tunes. Hell, they even sounded good coming from NES sound chip (and you can download digitzed samples from the game)! Anyway, take your pick below:

Castlevania 1

(Note on above file: the WAV file is about 328K and it's a link elsewhere. When I downloaded it, Windows Sound Recorder said it was corrupt but I edited it with other software to make it playable. It may just have been a download problem, but if the same thing happens to you, tell me, and I'll post an editied version up here.)

MIDI

The MIDI files on the site are all in MID formats. They are playable under Windows with play old Media Player. Unless you have a wavetable soundcard, they will sound pretty crappy, so download Wingroove so you can hear the music like it's supposed to be heard.

WAV

You can play WAV files through Sound Recorder or Media Player in Windows (althought Media Player is recommended because it's faster loading.

MP2

MPEG compression can compress WAV files down enormously, without sound quality degradation. A 1.7 Castlevania Bloodlines WAV file was brought down to 215K!

Download XingPlay for Windows

MOD

MOD files are digitzied samples played in a pattern, and they usually end up sounding pretty good. Mod4Win is an excellent MOD files player.
