Playing MIDI Files On Your Pocket PC
Posted by Jon Westfall in "ARTICLE" @ 07:58 PM
"Many Pocket PC users would like to know how midi files (a form of storing music information used everywhere, even in low-end phones) can be played on the Pocket PC. This is why I’ve done some serious work, resulting in this roundup, which is highly recommended for anyone that wants to listen to midi music on his or her Pocket PC. First, most “generic” players like TCPMP do not play midi files (as far as TCPMP is concerned, only later, commercial versions (CorePlayer) of it may receive Midi support (also see this thread)). Other generic players ditto. (Actually, no wonder most of them lack support for Midi. Playing Midi files requires a so-called ‘instrument set’ of your own, which can take 1-2 Mbytes and, unless you use / license third-party instrument sets, are very hard to create.)"
