Default Playing MIDI Files On Your Pocket PC

http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/in...1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

"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.)"

Werner "Menneisyys" Ruotsalainen has another great write-up on his Smartphone & Pocket PC Magazine blog. If you're yearning to listen to your MIDI collection from 1996, check out his round-up!

Check out the latest GSPlayer (2.25) http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA032810/, which supports WM2005 and MIDI via a plugin.
