Well ... if you're here then you may have had a problem playing or downloading midi songs from the porthole.
We'll assume that you've tried clicking once (or perhaps double-clicking) on
the song title in blue letters.
If not then head
back on give that a try first.
You'll need to have a program already installed that has its file association
set for *.mid.
Try
WinAmp it plays both mid and mp3.
Here's a way to get the songs from the Midi Internet Porthole with Windows PC.
Click your right mouse button once on the song you want (blue letters).
Choose
'Save Target As..." Remember (or write down) the directory name in the Save
in: box at the top.
(or you can use the folder up button to place in elsewhere).
Click 'Save'. It may ask you if you want to 'Open' (play) or 'Save'.
If you have
a MIDI file player you can 'Open' and play directly from internet.
If you don't
know if you have a MIDI player you should 'Save' it.
If you can choose 'Save' in
about a minute it will be saved on your hard drive (C:\) in the directory from
the previous step.
You should have some type of MIDI player on your computer or
try to download and install one from the 'Links Section' of the website.
Try
WinAmp it plays both MIDI and mp3. Direct your MIDI player to the file and have
fun.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

If you disagreed please don't resort to legal action just email
me and they will be removed.
But hopefully music in this format can remain free unlike the much beleaguered
mp3.
