I cannot play Midi files on my Pocket PC! Ack! What is wrong with Windows Media Player? It cannot be called a clone of the desktop version, it is useless! Does anyone know of a midi player that they found nice, easy, and free?

There is no Midi synthesizer in Windows Media Player. Try Pocket Midi at http://www.vsoftsol.com/PocketMIDI/download.asp

Yes I know that, but thanks for the link. I was referring to the fact that WMP on the PPC is useless compared to its desktop brother :D

It is also several magnitude smaller than it's bigger brother too. The future WMP is supposed to support plug-in codecs. That would allow users to choose which types of files should be decoded and played on their devices.
