Today I tried out FreeCDP which Ron Clarke recommended for DOS and it
played the test midi file Fur Elise perfectly. What a surprise!

I have not got it to play anything else properly.

If you mean other types of sound files, then I agree that it does MIDIs
best, and the rest is a bit hit and miss. I use other players for other
sound file types.

But if you mean other MIDIs, why don't you try it on a few MIDIs that
I have sequenced - follow Tadpole Tunes in my signature below.

I tried it on a few midis that came with drivers for other sound cards and it sounded absolutely TERRIBLE. Very slow (1/10 speed) and very loud. Is there some way to speed it up? At that speed I could not tell if it was using different sounds for different instruments. Maybe it is aimed only at newer SB32AWE cards, PCI?

I will be happy to listen to your midis if I can get this program to work, or with my working DOS AWE32 midi player pmb, from SAC archives pmb123.zip. I have that working in DOS online with lynx (and something else for wav files - plany?). Do you have a linux MIDI player working in combination with a browser?

I have only 1MB of sound patches (sample sounds) so I doubt I will get the full effect of your music.

Perhaps we had better keep DOS midi discussions off the list unless anyone else here is interested and Steven does not mind.

I could not even get the test LEFT CENTER RIGHT sounds to play (wav?).

Regards,
Ron
