Midi Player Software
Midi player software must be installed on your computer in order to listen to midi files using your computer sound card and speakers. If you surf the web regularly for music files, you probably already have a midi player installed on your computer.

If a midi player isn't already installed on your computer, your can download the Apple Quicktime player at no cost. The QuickTime player browser plug-in is very effective when used with our online Music Library.

Microsoft's Windows Media Player can also be used to play midi files on the Music Library CD; however, QuickTime must be used to play midi files on-line.

Keybords with Disc Drives
Musical keyboards with disc drives can usually play midi files by creating a copy of the file on a floppy disc or CD and inserting it into the keyboard's disc drive.
