I don't know whether this is an XP question or not

I cannot get a .mid file to play in Firefox. So I thought I should try
another format. Are there any free conversion packages to convert .mid to
something else, e.g. .wav ?

Thanks, Rich
I found a trial program that does what I want - good enough to convert one
35 second file, but that's all I need at the moment.

Strange that there is other free software that converts many other formats,
but not *from* .mid *to* other formats

For what a mid (a musical score sheet) is it is superior to any other file formats it could be converted to. Every version of windows can convert mid to wav.

Thanks, David

Some questions/comments.
1. While .mid may be superior, Firefox does not want to play it, so I needed
a format that it would play and .wav is it (or at least it is one that it
will play
2. How does one use Windows to convert .mid to .wav

Use Sound Recorder and play the mid file.

You are soooooooo stupid.

This is so basic. Perhaps you shouldn't ask any questions here and learn to use your computer instead of abusing this group.

WTF would Sound Recorder play it. It records wave files.

I don't appreciate being told I am so stupid. In fact, I assumed that
respondents to the newsgroup were bascially polite. But then I have read
some of your replies before !

You wrote
Use Sound Recorder and play the mid file.

If this doesn't imply that I should use Sound Recorder to open the .mid
file, I don't know what it does imply.

Please explain what it deos mean.

David Candy,
Please explain yourself.

You know what you are talking about but I don't.

How do I read this sentence:
Look at the name of the program abuser of the commons.

Are you asking me to look at the name of the program Sound Recorder. Yes, it
says it records sound.
You also said: Use Sound Recorder and play the mid file
I interpreted this as meaning that Sound Recorder will play (and record) a
..mid file

I assume that the words "abuser of the commons" are a abusive form of
address to me. Well that's OK if it gives you some pleasure. But this is
also difficult to understand. I thought a newsgroup was a forum for persons
seeking help. If to use it is abuse, then it defeats its purpose.

I don't know why you spent hours reading the exif specification.
In particular, I do not not know:
Where this specification is
What relevance it has
What information you obtained
If I knew this, I could read it also and see whether it helps me

David, I will certainly say thank you when I get some information that is
meaningful.

PS. Are there any readers out there who can add to my knowldege of what is
being said, or express an opinion as to whether I am stupid, being abusive
or wasting/misusing the newsgroup's time.

I would be interested to know what a complete newcomer would make of this
interchange.

LOL,
Trevor L.

Perhaps it should have been worded differently.

I would be helpful if you understood that MIDI is not audio, but it isn't
necessary here.

Windows Media Player will play a .MID file.
Launch Sound Recorder and start it recording. Use the Media Player to play
the .MID file.

There is a "known" extension which will let you configure which player is to
be used, based on audio type. Check for MediaPlayerConectivity.
