MIDI files??? Why not?

Is there a way to play MIDI files on an iPod. And, if not, is there a way to convert them to mp3 or aac? Thanks a lot.

I'm on Mac, but I've used Quicktime to do this. Actually, I use Quicktime Pro so the ability might not be in the free version, but try importing the midi file into quicktime and then saving as an MP3 (or whatever). I think it just works.

Why require cap file why not only class file as in java

why do we convert .class to .cap file why not simply load the .clss file to the card

If Java Card has to accept .class file, it's certain
that JCVM developers are going to spend more and more
nights in their office.
Just kidding. I'm one of them.LOL :)
Put the CAP file converter on-card.

HT1589 Why does creating a new library only look for mp3 and AAC files. why not ALAC and AIFF ?

I want to add a new library so i can use on sepcific devices. However it does not att AIFF or ALAC files. I always import using AIFF into my standard library.
If i want to use only mp3 files in the new library do i have to create them first in my standard library then they will appear in the new library. then delete from the original library but keep files?
Thanks

Then it may have stalled, ot there could be permissions problems... Try adding the folder again or use iTunes Folder Watch.
Also i dont want to downsample to 128k. i want to use 320k and still have best quality without using lossless formats to put on the iPhone
iTunes can now downsample to 128k, 192k or 256k...
Also i dont want to see 2 of each song in one library
thats why i want to use two different libraries.
Yep, that bit I get, but switching in and out of libraries and trying to keep things up to date is easier said than done. I'm just trying to point out there might be an acceptable alternative that is easier to manage.

I have installed the latest Reader version and I am not able to open a PDF file, why not?

Please advise why I cannot open a pdf file?

Any number of possibilities.
What happens when you try? Or don't you know how?

ITunes Recognizes the files, why not iPod?

I have read through the rest of these question and answer forums. I have downloaded Videora and have converted files of both the DVD and downloaded variety into MPEG-4 file types.
iTunes accepts and plays these file formats on my computer. The last step, however, them uploading onto my iPod, is not happening. The iPod itself doesn't display the " videos" option at all. I tried reconverting all my files, and I have no luck.
I restored my ipod and tried again from the begining. No luck.
Does anyone know of a solution?
My iPod is a 30G. I run on a PC OS, Windows XP.

Welcome To Apple Discussions!!!
Are you sure you have a Video iPod?
Not trying to sound stupid. Just saying if you have a Video iPod and there is no "Video" option in the menu of the iPod then you got a problem. Look on the box that came with the iPod and make sure you have a Video iPod.

N900 and mid-files

Why N900 doesn't play mid-files! Nokia, please, make this phone play mid-files! I really need this player! Nokia 6233 plays mid-files, why you have taken off this from new phone??????

i dunno about you guys, but i havent used midi files since... ever XD
www.dvdvideosoft.com have some free audio converters and video converters which are useful for the n900.
on the topic of free converteres, if you want something that can simply convert videos to high quality mp4s that matches the n900's screen resolution, download the free video to ipod converter from dvdvideosoft. then copy the txt file ive attached to this post into the program's profiles folder and change the extension from '.txt' to '.xml'. then just run the program, choose iphone as the device, and you'll see all the profiles ive created for the n900.
the program is good for quick conversions and accepts a fair few file formats. but some things it doesnt do are;
image stretch - the program maintains the source video's aspect ratio
hardcode subs - if the source is an mkv, sub files will not be hardcoded
the files using my profile are rather large because i prefer quality over portability. we do have 32+gigs of storage after all!

Artwork for midi files in iTunes

I have many midi files in my itunes that I output to midi instruments and a piano. I know how to put album artwork with an mp3 or other formats in itunes and haven't had any problems there but I can't get album artwork to work with a SMF (standard midi file) in format 0 or 1. Can midi file just not have artwork? Any ideas?

Midi files dop not have tags for artwork.
You could convert them to AAC/MP3 in iTunes and add artwork.

Converting midi files to wav format for burning CD

I've searched for a good mac application that will allow me to convert midi files (saved from my clavinova 170) to a floppy, to wav format so that I can burn a standard audio CD. Can someone help me out?

This is a bit complicated, conceptually.
You see, MIDI files do not contain sound or audio.
MIDI files are kind of like sheet music. They contain instructions that a synthesizer or sampler can use to play music. But MIDI files don't contain the sound itself.
Open up a blank GarageBand document, and drag your MIDI file into the window. GarageBand will attempt to select sounds for all the musical instrument tracks in your MIDI file. You can then save the file, do any necessary editing, and export the GarageBand file as an AIFF file, which you can transfer to iTunes for burning to a CD.

Opening MIDI files

Hi everyone!
I'm having trouble reading a simple midi file and displaying the midi file as integers. My problem is I'm using a string buffer and readLine and then converting each individual spot in the string to an integer and i'm finding that some information is lost in the conversion into string and then into integer , i think because it is stored in hex.
Does any one know of any links with source code I could learn from or have any suggestions on reading a midi file and displaying the bytes as integers into a displayPanel?
Thank you for your time,
cloudtwist
PS.I think my troubles could also be answered if i could just read the bytes straight from the file into an integer array but I can;t get that to work either. Thank you again.

MIDI files are binary files, so you cannot read them with any of the Reader classes. A MIDI file does not contain lines of text so it does not make sense to use readLine().
You should use one of the Stream classes (FileInputStream for example) to read bytes from the file.

Why are some of my midi files not playing?

This baffles me, out of a thousand or two midi files I have, about 20% will display an "Mac OS error 208" message saying "this movie could not be opened".
Now, this is neither a movie file, nor a file there should be any problem in opening, since it WILL open, like all other ones, when used inside any music editing programs I have!
Any idea what is up with this seemingly arbitrary & pointless obstacle?

Yeah, iTunes can play them and they have burned to disc but when I play the disc doesn't play all the tracks.
When I open the disc the tracks that won't play have the VLC icon beside them, I thought I may need to convert these in some way.
In addition, when I open up the iTunes Music Library folder on my C Drive the files have VLC icons too.
I'm completely stumped?!?!

This html code only plays midi file in IE, not Safari - why?

<title>New York</title>
<bgsound src="http://home.earthlink.net/~maugustine2/daydream/bachair.mid" loop="0">
<body bgcolor="#CCCC98">
</html>
With this code, the midi file: bachair.mid will only play with IE 5.2/mac, not Safari 2.0.1 / 10.4.2
Safari will play the midi file with a direct link: http://home.earthlink.net/~maugustine2/daydream/bachair.mid - so it's not a problem with safari midi functions, only this code.
The page containing this code is at: http://home.earthlink.net/~maugustine2/daydream/DDhead.htm
Again - IE 5.2/mac plays the midi file with this code and Safari doesn't. Any help is very appreciated! I'm sure it's something very simple.
Mark

Thanks for the hint, I found this code - both lines will play the file in Safari - but they also make IE play the file twice! (with an echo). Safari seems to need both to play anything - IE plays it with either one! Any further ideas much appreciated! btw - I am >not< using this to play music on a home page - only a specific goofy little subpage - shouldn't be bothersome for anyone!

Why won't QuickTime Pro 7.0.4 open my MIDI files?

Have QT Pro 7.0.4, OS 10.4.6, Safari 2.0.3 on eMac computer. Downloaded MIDI from Classical Music Archives but file won't open. When try to open it, get message on eMac screen "QT cannot open the file tmcpsolf.mid It is not a file that QT understands (-2048)". I could open MIDI files from any source easily in OS 9.0.4 with QT Pro.
I checked MIME settings in QT preferences, and MIDI is checked as "on".
Also can't open MIDI file in eMac of piano music I saved on floppy disk from my Yamaha digital piano MIDI recorder. Get same message as above.
What can I do to get QT to open and play MIDI? Thank you.
eMac Mac OS X (10.4)

Hello,
Sorry for such a long message, but I want to make sure you have all the correct information. Issue #1 is still unsolved. Issue #2 I solved (see below).
Issue #1: QuickTime Pro 7.0.4 won't open Midi files created by external Midi recorder. QT does not recognize Midi file.
Just to clarify, I have a digital piano without USB, so I can't connect the piano to my new eMac to record my music with a suitable computer based Midi recorder/synthesizer and related program. This is my first attempt at recording Midi on an external, not computer based Midi recorder.
I have never tried to use any Midi recording process with my old iMac, OS 9.0.4, QuickTime 5.x
A few days ago I purchased an old (but new, never been used), Midi recorder which does not have USB but it connects to my piano to record as Midi what I play and save on its built in floppy disk. I use the in and out Midi portals on my piano and Midi recorder to send signals back and forth to the recorder, and play the music back in the piano so I can hear what I just played. That part works fine. The recorder is limited to only one Midi track per file for
recording music.
The floppy is MicroSoft DOS format which I initialized with the recorder before using it per the recorder's manual.
After recording several Midi files in the floppy, I wanted to hear them in my eMac and e-mail them. I assumed the Midi format would be recognized by eMac, regardless of the MicroSoft DOS format of the floppy, and that QuickTime would open them. Isn't .mid a generic extension recognized by Mac and QT as a Midi file?
The eMac displayed the Midi files (.mid) on the desktop (I used Imation SuperDisk external floppy drive to transfer the Midi files to eMac). When I double clicked on these files to open them, I got the message I quoted above in my first posting, that QuickTime did not recognize the Midi file.
Perhaps my recorder has some sort of code it assigns to the Midi it records that the Mac and/or QuickTime can't recognize? Or QT won't recocgnize a one track Midi file?
Do you have any guess as to why QT won't recognize my .mid files?
Issue #2: QT won't open Midi music I download from classicalarchives.com
This issue I solved a few hours ago - see below.
In my old iMac, OS 9.0.4 I would double click and listen to Midi music files at classicalarchives.com or any other url via QuickTime Pro 5.x, no problems.
I also downloaded, saved and opened them with QT 5.x
In new eMac, when I double click the Midi file on web, QT automatically opens usual player window and I can listen to Midi OK.
When I save file as "Source" from the above QT window, it is a Midi file (.mid) which QT will not open on the desktop, I get identical "not recognized" message I get with Midi recorder files.
I found a solution to opening and hearing the downloaded file as follows:
When I save Midi file via QT player window as "QuickTime Movie" (.mov), I can open it with QT and listen to it. So, Issue #2 is solved in order to listen to the Midi I download.
Thank you for your time and trouble. Please advise re Issue #1 before we close this case as "unsolved".

Why does some artwork embed into the file, but not others?

Hey everyone.
I'm running iTunes 11.3.1. I'm incredibly obsessive about having organised files and one thing in particular I want is album artwork embedded into the music file itself, not just on iTunes. The problem I have is that the artwork will embed for some, and not for others - even if I use the exact same methods:
I use the following for getting HQ covers: http://bendodson.com/code/itunes-artwork-finder/index.html
I will then click on the high resolution version, copy it to clipboard, command-i to get info of the individual tracks and manually paste the cover into every track on the album. When I then go into Finder to see if it has embedded, I find that for one album it has worked perfectly; but although I use the exact same method, it won't work for another album even if they're exactly the same file type.
(I know I can save myself time and select all the tracks, command-i and paste the artwork to do it in one go - but I find I get just as much of a mixed bag. I.e. sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.)
I am literally at the end of my tether and I can't figure out what I need to do differently, any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I have encountered exactly the same problem and frustration :-)
Although I can't offer a definitive reason why, I did notice that the problem tracks typically had a higher resolution image attached in iTunes. I have used Preview to reduce the resolution to 600 x 600 (standard iTunes size) and it worked.
Now, I have no idea if it was the resolution or the fact that I was re-saving a fresh version of the JPG (which may have stripped out whatever was causing the problem), but the process of tweaking the file to 600 x 600 and re-saving has worked for me.
