I have a bunch of piano music pieces on my hard drive with the suffix .mid. I don't remember how they got there, but I like the music.

However, iTunes won't play them, import them, or convert them, unless I don't know how to make it do it. I can navigate to the folder they're in, but iTunes shows them as grayed out. I thought maybe I could use iTunes to convert them to aiff, so that I could drop them into iMovie, but you can't choose something that's grayed out.

So I thought I'd try to burn them to a CD with Toast 6, then see if iTunes would import them from the CD (as well as have a nice music CD), but Toast won't accept them ("not in a supported format").

I tried to drop one into iMovie, but after the colored wheel spun for awhile it disappeared and there's nothing in the sound track.

If I double-click on them, Quicktime will play them, and they sound great, but that's about all I can do with them.

So, what are these weird .mid things, and does anybody know how I can convert them into something that iTunes, Toast, and iMovie will recognize?

This is iTunes 4.7 and iMovie 4 on a G4 running 10.3.6.

Any  help appreciated very much!

Tom
