I have a lot of old MID files on my PC HD, which I can play with WMP.
Out of curiosity I just installed a program called Midi Player on my
Pocket PC, and copied a few of these MID files across. I wasn't too
surprised that they don't play. Unlike some other formats (like DOX,
XLS, etc) which get converted by the copy process, these remain as
MID, but the PPC program expects files with the .MDL extension.
Is there someway I can convert MID so that my PPC will play them?
BTW, I also just discovered that on my PC, Goldwave won't play MID
either; for MIDI files it apparently expects a type called 'MIDI
Instrument Sample (*.sds)'. Is WMP the only player that can handle MID
types?
