Hi, I'm back! thank you, (anonymouse) for the advice to Dick Greenhouse on my behalf - appreciated. My problem is, that I can use the dos file (worked it out), but when I try 'play.exe', I am told that there is 'no file' or that I need another type of midi player to play the files (by the way, the midi files do not have an extension). Upon delving further, the best I could come up with was a website which offered to sell me the required program for $99! Help, please, somebody!
