Why Can I Not Hear a Midi File?

Apple products stopped supporting midi files, but there are a couple work-arounds. The best solution I have found for Apple products is to download the files and download a midi player like "GM Midi Player" from the app store. Then you can play the files on the app.

Another option is to convert the midi into an mp3 file
, which Apple has no problem playing
. There are programs that will convert midi files to mp3 files available for purchase. A free option online is at http://www.zamzar.com, which will allow you to convert 2 files per day for free.

I understand that the newest versions of Garage Band (comes with or is available for most Apple products) will play midi files, but I don't have any personal experience with that option.
