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

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.

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!

  • QuickTime X opens 7 to play MIDI files

    I've been wondering this for a while, but only recently thought to ask as it isn't that much of a concern. I installed QuickTime 7 on my Mountain Lion installation per the official instructions (I had QuickTime Pro on my old Mac and needed to retain that functionality), and since then when attempting to play a MIDI file QuickTime X closes and opens the file in QuickTime 7. Is this normal, expected behavior?

    Yep.
    QuickTime X can't play MIDI files (and many other older formats) so it passes them off to QuickTime Player 7.

  • Itunes 10.7 not playing MIDI files

    ITunes 10.7 is not playing midi files (.mid).  I often play MIDI files and convert them to MP3 files using iTunes. Has Apple stopped supporting playing and converting MIDI files in iTunes? 
    When I try to open a MIDI file in Quicktime 10.2, it also does not play MIDI files. I do get a message that Quicktime 7 is required to play midi files.
    I sure hope this is changed in future updates of  iTiunes and Quicktime.
    Tom R.

    I don't think this is the complete picture...  I have tried importing midi files into iTunes 10.7 on three different computers, and it worked on one, not the other two.  The differentiating factor? Seems to be the operating system:  it worked on the one with Snow Leopard but not on the ones with Mountain Lion.  I don't have a computer with Lion to test on, unfortunately.  This might be an actual bug, or temporary omission, from the build for Mountain Lion.  Worth filing a bug report, anyway - since it's free and the more people report it the higher priority we might hope it gets?  http://bugreport.apple.com/

  • Automator only playing .mov files

    I am working with Automator trying to create a simple video scheduling app. I created a workflow that ...
    1. Gets a specific movie
    2. Plays the movie full screen.
    Everything is tied into iCal and seems to work well except that I can only play .mov files. mp4 files and .avi files will play in Quicktime Player but will not when called through this workscript/app.
    Any thoughts?

    I'm not sure if this is even the right forum so I apologize if it's not.  Just trying to get an aswer about playing my .mov files.
    I have the new Ipad and I have been recording videos.  I'm looking to get these videos online on my website.
    What is the best way to put this on my website so there is a video player and all.
    Right now I just added the videos online but there are no play, pause and rewind options and its just 1 big page of video.
    Your question is somewhat ambiguous. How you place the files on your web site will depend on how you are creating/managing the web site and how you plan for viewers to watch them. This can range from simply loading the files to an online server and accessing the content directly by its URL in a compatible browser app like Safari or dedicated players like QT 7, QT X, MPEG Streamclip, VLC, or devices like the iPad, iPhone, etc. to embedding/calling specialized "viwers/players" from within the programmed web page.
    Not being a web site programmer myself, I normally just transfer the content to my system and either copy the files directly to my server or use iWeb to publish the files to my server for more generic web site viewing.

  • Can't play MIDI files on MacBook Pro 10.7.5

    PLEASE help! I'm an old boomer and not too tech-savvy (know enough to get all messed up!).
    I can't play MIDI files on MacBook Pro 10.7.5, and it's driving me CRAZY. I'm trying to play files from this website: http://www.hymntime.com/tch/ (just select a song under the "Titles" link), using Safari and/or Firefox browser -- to no good end!
    What can I buy or add on that will enable the playing of MIDI files??
    Thank you!

    I had heard that MIDI worked in Lion, but don't currently have it to test.
    There's a somewhat involved way to get it working described here, or you may be able to download the files & play them locally.

  • I can't play midi files.

    Hi,
    I have the latest version of iTunes and Quicktime but I can't play midi files with Quicktime anymore. I have to remove iTunes to be able to play them. Does anyone know how to fix this so I can have iTunes and play midis too? They used to play on my computer so I don't know what's going on.
    Thanks!

    Do you have QuickTimeMusic.qtx and QuickTimeMusicalInstruments.qtx (and their resource directory) in your Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem directory?
    And you may need to remove some codec packs include QuickTime support.
    And why you have to use QuickTime synthesizer for MIDI files? It uses obsolete technology and a small soundfont (from about 1997) and without proper support for Yamaha XG MIDI files?

    I would realy apreciate if someone help me!
    Thanks.

    You can play midi files using the MMAPI. Here is a small example for how to play a midi file:
    import javax.microedition.media.*;
    import java.io.*;
    try{
        Player player;
        InputStream is = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/test.mid");
        player = Manager.createPlayer(is, "audio/midi");
        player.realize();
        player.start();
    }catch(Exception e) {
        System.out.println("Error: " + e.toString());
    }You can find a great tutorial from here:

  • My ipod starts voicing song data, artist data, and playlist data while I am listening to music.  Is this a feature or a defect?  I do not know why it occurs, but the only way to stop it is to stop the music then play the playlist again.

    To make sure voiceover is off, you need to go to summary screen then click the "Configure Universal Access" button. Then you will get a dialog where you can make sure voiceover is off. All of the boxes in the dialog should be unchecked.

  • Can't play mid files in Audigy2

    I have installed my Audigy 2 ZX for months. I found it couldn't play midi files until recently. I had tried to cleansweep both the drivers and Creative's applications several times but no help. It is silent whenever I playback those files. What I noticed that the option of midi playback in Multimedia was blank. I had chosen different options but it return to blank next time.
    Anyone can help? TIA.
    Regards,
    Michael

    It should work.
    . Double-click the speaker icon near the clock.
    2. Select Options>Properties, put dot in Playback circle.
    3. Put a checkmark in the Midi Synth box and click OK
    4. Make sure Midi Synth is not muted and that it's volume control is near the top.
    Of course, you also need a player which will play midi files. Many do, but I prefer

  • How to get QuickTime Plugin to play .mid files?

    I have quicktime Plugin installed. It works for playing video files but I can't get it to play .mid files in browser. Firefox asks me to download the file first, even though through options -> application types, I have set it to use the QuickTime plugin.
    I have firefox 22 and quicktime 7.7.4

    Also through MIME settings in QuickTime I have set QuickTime to be associated with .mid and .midi files.
