I also cannot play back the files in a browser. The OP has (potential?) customers experiencing the same issue. If you restore that configuration, then your web browser should work again. > The only thing that is not working is your own particular web browser (you haven't told us which browser you are using), which appears to have lost its configuration for playback of website items of type "audio/midi". > There is nothing wrong with the web-sites or with the MIDI files. 7.5: Updated to 7.5 and now my midi files attached on my website won't play. Sibelius 7.1.3, iMac - Snow Leopard 2015. This created a perception of MIDI as low-quality audio, while in reality MIDI itself contains no sound, and the quality of its playback depends entirely on the quality of the sound-producing device (and of samples in the device).:227 The low-fidelity reproduction of these ubiquitous cards was often assumed to somehow be a property of MIDI itself. Early budget cards, such as the AdLib and the Sound Blaster and its compatibles, used a stripped-down version of Yamaha's frequency modulation synthesis (FM synthesis) technology played back through low-quality digital-to-analog converters. Even a sound card that contains high-quality sampled sounds can have inconsistent quality from one instrument to another, while different model cards have no guarantee of consistent sound of the same instrument. The major drawback to this is the wide variation in quality of users' audio cards, and in the actual audio contained as samples or synthesized sound in the card that the MIDI data only refers to symbolically. Licensed MIDI files on floppy disks were commonly available in stores in Europe and Japan during the 1990s. This made MIDI file arrangements an attractive way to share music, before the advent of broadband internet access and multi-gigabyte hard drives.

Rather, it is a spreadsheet-like set of instructions, and can use a thousand times less disk space than the equivalent recorded audio. When the intention is to provide an audio demo or sample on a website, visitors to the website will be much better served with an actual audio file, as is made apparent by this thread.Ī MIDI file is not a recording of actual music. You can then upload these audio files the same way you have uploaded your live demo files.ĮDIT - It may be worth pointing out that MIDI files are not audio files. In the meantime, it is not too difficult to create audio files from your source midi files. Midi is becoming difficult to access in a web browser for whatever reason. Research (or have your webmaster look into) file formats which are easily accessible on various platforms/browsers (doesn't hurt to support what your clientele/target audience are using if you have that info). I won't say it's "the" answer, but I would move away from embedding or linking to midi files on my website if I were in this position.
QUICKTIME PLAYER FOR MAC 10.10.2 SOFTWARE
Forget playback in the web browser on Linux - I suppose there may be a way on God's green earth, but the will just isn't there (read:here) - on Linux I have to download the midi file and play it with timidity (which is the name of a software tool for working with midi files - not a state of mind as one plays the midi file!).
QUICKTIME PLAYER FOR MAC 10.10.2 WINDOWS 10
Windows 10 is dropping Windows Media Center, which was the default midi playback software for Windows.


The issue is midi playback on modern computers. 7.5: Updated to 7.5 and now my midi files.
