Thread Name: Downloading/Playing MIDI files
Subject: RE: Downloading/Playing MIDI files
Doc, Lawrence Welk wouldn't be very happy with you. I think maybe you have the security features on your browser set too high, so that it rejects most binary information. When I click on "wunnerful midi" (I have MSIE), a warning box pops up that asks if I want to open or save the MIDI file. I choose "open," and Myron Floren himself comes out of the speakers of my computer (I could live to regret that). At great personal risk, I just opened Netscape to see what would happen. I clicked on "wunnerful midi" and a little control box opened, and the same smarmy music started coming out of my computer.
So, my guess is that you have the security features set, but it's a little hard to tell since there are so many things that could be set differently. Keep playing with it. Then, if you continue to have problems, come back and describe your situation as clearly as you can, and one of us will try to rescue you. If we can't help, we'll call in the Big Guns, Alan or Max - they can help, fer sure.
Now, I suppose I'd better close one browser or the other before something crashes.
