Not sure exactly what you mean, but any method of opening the MIDI

The discussion has been enlightening, but am I to take it that, when
all is said and done, using iTunes for this purpose will not preserve
the original Sibelius sounds,
Well, _which_ sounds is Sibelius using for playback in this document?
Someone said the Sibelius Kontakt player can only load 8 instruments
at a time, so it must be something else, right? Does Sibelius come
with a default SoundFont? Someone said it didn't, I think.
If the file is just set to use QuickTime Musical Instruments, those
are the same instruments you will get when using iTunes to convert the
file.
nor Sibelius' equivalent of human playback?
Not unless Sibelius saves that data in the MIDI file it generated. In
Finale, the Apply Human Playback plugin writes HP data into the MIDI
file. Isn't there an option to do this in Sibelius? Have you
compared playback from Sibelius to the playback you get when you open
the MIDI file in iTunes?
And that to do so requires the use of a third-party program?
Again, I don't know. Ken said there was a "Save as Audio" command in
the Sibelius Kontakt player, but again, I doubt this file is using the
Kontakt player if it's an orchestral work, as I believe the Kontakt
player can only load 8 instruments?
In which case, would somebody on the list having such a program be
willing to convert a 19-minute orchestral midi file for me?
That person would also need Sibelius *and* whatever soundfont you are
using for Sibelius playback *and* a registered version of Audio Hijack
Pro or the equivalent. I'd love to help you out, but I fail on all
three counts (I only have the Sibelius demo, and I only have the
freeware version of Audio Hijack, which limits recordings to 10
minutes).
Somebody mentioned there was a Mac freeware alternative to Audio
Hijack Pro and WireTap Pro, but I forget what that was. But that's
probably your best bet.
