 I agree with Daniel. Your most likely solution is to use a Flash player
 (or similar implementation) and populate a portion of your page with the
 object via AJAX (which you are already apparently comfortable with).

Or make your own Flash player with Ming and PHP. Working on that myself
at the moment.

 Hey guys!

 Thanks for replying!

 Cant find any midi flash player... looks like it has to be mp3, in which case 
 can anybody recommend a place for open licensed mp3s for songs like happy 
 birthday etc
 maybe just instrumental stuff?

You can install stuff to convert MIDI files to MP3's.  FFMPEG is
the most popular, but doesn't do it directly.  You'd have to first use
something like Timidity to convert MIDI to PCM Waveform, and then the
resulting .wav to MP3 with FFMPEG.

Doing that would allow you to convert files on the fly, without
having to find a specific format each time you need a media file.
