I need help getting DSL to play midi files. Couldn't find info anywhere.

Thanks A Million!

XMMS would be the one, don't know if the DSL version has MIDI built-in, think you need the xmms-midi plug-in.  If MIDI isn't in there, don't know if you need to compile xmms-midi, whether it's a simple download, or what.  Sorry for not being much help, but might give you a starting point.

XMMS doesn't have it or the plugin installed on DSL. Already looked into that and couldn't get anywhere.

Thanks anyway.

apt-get install playmidi

If that doesn't float your boat, try looking through the apps @ http://linux-sound.org/one-page.html#midi

Just out of curiosity, why in the hell would you want to play midi anyway?

I for one would use it for synth/sampler control, if it supports hardware output.  MIDI has received a bad name from the cheesy online and ringtone stuff, but it's very powerful when using good hardware!
