Yeah, I guess so... Chris sighs hugely. Frankly, I'm tired a asking for
help opn this topic being on another list, I got screamed at by a list
member. I want help, but it seems like either 1 my questions are always too
easy for others thus, they put me down off list, or B, they're a 1 80: so
advanced that no one has a damn clue. Excuse my language, but just as
everyone else, do I not get the right to ask for help? Sorry to pour this
on you. I know you! want to help, and thank you. I'll send it to you off
list, but, maybe I'm taking things too personally, but frankly, I must say,
off list, I can't n ame one person and even if I could, I publically
wouldn't, but frankly, I'm quite hurt. I have had this mac now for two
weeks and I think most of what I've learned is on my own. I only know maybe
3 people who've been willing to regularly helop me, with no condition, and,
frankly, I have asked at least a good fifteen or more questions on this list
as well as another list combined together, and maybe only about 3 of those
have been answered. I'm just starting to wonder how worth it the blind mac
community is. Sorry again for ranting, I know this list is really probably
not the place to do it, but, what'm I gonna do? I mean this isn't even
people just not knowing the answer and thus not responding. You don't write
me off list and say: why do you have to ask such easy stupid questions. I
can't tell you how much that comment has hurt me. It literally almost set
me in tears. I'm sorry I am no good at the mac, but dammit? at least I'm
trying. Anyway, enough said, I rest my case. I'll send you the file.
Please if anyone wants to comment about what above I've said, let's do it
off list? OK? I mean it!
Chris.

I know it isn't corrupted. I got it to play fine on my windows laptop.
I've sent it also to a ton a other people, and they all say that they got
it to play fine but of corse that was under windows.

HI,
Can you send me a link to your midi file? Odds are it's corrupted. I do
this all the time for ring tones for my cell phone, so I know it works.
The error you gave is a generic error when QT can't read the file format
properly.

well it sure isn't doing it here.

Hi,
Nope, QuickTime Player will play midi files without any convertion at
all. Just open it up and play. End of story.
--Scott
I'm curious how in Tiger you need to go about playing a midi file with
a .mid extention. I hear quicktime'll do it, but, you have to
supposively first, convert it to a movie file. That's way more
complicated than I wanna deal with. I just want a simple player that
is freeware. Even better, would be open source. I'm sure things like
Garage Band would do it, but frankly? I really! don't wanna pay $79
just for the thing for openning mids. Granted, for recording, in
general, I am considerring it, but, not sure as of yet.
Quite honestly, I really wanna try this trial that I downloaded.
Anyway, for just a simple player that I could have so I can command o
on the file from the finder, and it start playing, would really be
extremely nice.
Chris.
