I've posted a summary along with a direct quote of the entire conversation
which I hope will continue to receive contributions. If everyone approves,
I'll send it off to MM, though I know they also keep up in the Flashcoders
list and have perhaps already most of this.
Thanks. In the recent rush I haven't been able to read "Who wants MIDI?"
much less abstract it.
Were you able to get a sense from the whole list of (a) which specific
MIDI (or MIDI-like) features & implementations are most desired; and (b)
how much they'd be willing to pay for this in player size?
Do you know what size of MIDI engine would work best for you, for which
MIDI abilities, for instance?
Anyone also know the link the the MM wish list?
Searching "macromedia wish list" pulls up
http://www.macromedia.com/go/wish
I know that MIDI or Beatnik or other audio-via-instructions has been on
the wishlist for awhile, although specific wishes vary in the amount of
the General MIDI spec they need, and wishes vary in how much of a player
download effect they'd accept.

Hmm, that sounds sort of mom-and-apple-pie... who would *not* want a new
ability? The big questions are precisely which abilities under that
general "midi" label most people actually want most, and what they'd be
willing to pay for it, in terms of slower audience adoption or greater
disparity across devices or whatever....?
