[edit] Memory stick
"Memory Stick" is Sony's brandname for a flash memory card. Is it wise to use it in this way?
I think it should just say portable media players and lose the apple and sony references. Giant89 20:55, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Help
This page is not very helpful. "The machine on which you play the file must have both the software and hardware enabled to play MIDI files." Alright, obviously I don't have the appropriate software; that's why I'm here. So what programs does one use? dbenbenn | talk 21:06, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
- Agreed. Hyacinth (talk) 10:21, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

- Wikipedia:Media help (Ogg) seems to set a high bar, but much of it is about audio/video playback basics. This page could basically say: "first ensure that you can play Ogg Vorbis audio files." Maybe the "Audio and video" link at the top could be a bit more specific. --Jtir (talk) 17:35, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Test files
It might be useful to provide a short MIDI file and a short Ogg Vorbis file, so users can test their MIDI configuration from this page. Two longer ones might also be useful for readers to play while varying their mixer settings until they get settings they like.
The Brahms excerpt looks nice, but what does it do to help readers play MIDI files?

- Thanks! Works fine in Linux and in Windows. Nice way to link to the article, too. --Jtir (talk) 20:35, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] What types of players does this page support?
This page appears to be written mainly for readers seeking to play MIDI files on a PC, although it does mention MP3 players and the like. What is the scope of this page? --Jtir (talk) 17:49, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
