It's not able to read midi files in the right way. I could do nothing more for now because It's absurd to convert a small midi file in a big wav file(!). I have put the midi in my ftp site so if someone is interested in it he (or she) can download it. However the problem persist... Have you never heard of classical midi archives? Well, there you can listen to a lot of midi files on line without problem (also because they are protected and you can only hear them ). So I'm thinking this: -At my home the home page works correctly, my Netscape open the link with it's own midi file reader and plays without problems. -External servers (like the one that stores Classical Midi Archives) manage midi files correctly. The conclusion is that the problem is your server (I mean the software managing your site). Please please please try to fix it. Probably it's only a configuration mistake. Send me an answer for this, please. Cheers, Giulio
