Instructions for playing MIDI files
You must have a sound card installed in your computer to play sound files through your Web browser. Most current Web browsers have built-in MIDI capabilities, so many visitors to these pages will be able to simply click the "play" arrow and hear the sound files. If the play controls do not show up on your screen, or you can't hear anything when you click the "play" arrow, you might need to download a free MIDI player. 

PC users: These MIDI files work well with the default setup in your browser - Netscape has its own built in Midi player, and IE uses the Microsoft Media Player™. You will also be able to use these files if you have Crescendo. If you don't already have it on your computer, you can download it here (this is a free download). Follow the instructions provided. 

Mac users: These MIDI files work best with Quick Time. If you don't already have it on your computer, a message will appear that directs you to a link at which you can download the latest version of the Quick Time player, which is a free download. If you already have Quick Time but the MIDI file is not working, check to make sure that the Quick Time plugin is installed in the Plugins folder of your Web browser. (AOL users: The Quick Time plugin must be in the AOL Plugins folder, not the Microsoft Internet Explorer Plugins folder.) 

MP3 Files 

PC users: Netscape Users - if you have installed Quicktime, or Microsoft Media Player™, or WinAmp, you will be able to download and play these files. Internet Explorer uses the Microsoft Media Player™. If you don't already have something on your computer to play MP3 files, you can download Microsoft Media Player or WinAmp (these are free downloads). Follow the instructions provided. 

Mac users: These MP3 files work best with Quick Time. If you don't already have it on your computer, a message will appear that directs you to a link at which you can download the latest version of the Quick Time player, which is a free download. If you already have Quick Time but the MP3 file is not working, check to make sure that the Quick Time plugin is installed in the Plugins folder of your Web browser. (AOL users: The Quick Time plugin must be in the AOL Plugins folder, not the Microsoft Internet Explorer Plugins folder.)
