Right. Player objects use QuickTime to interpret and process the audio. Since QT supports MIDI, it plays correctly. You also have more control over playback when using a player object.
The "play" command works with only a subset of audio formats and plays the files directly. In general, you can use the "play" command with .au, .aif, and .wav files as long as they have NO compression (and I haven't had great luck with .wav in any case.)
If at all possible, a player object is the prefered method, and for the case of MIDI it is the only method.
