Description
This Java Applet is a free multimedia player (mainly used by the website Midi-zer) for playing MIDI files.
Today, no browser (except IE) allows you to play natively musics with MIDI format on a web page. The solution has been to design an applet running on all machines with the Java Runtime Environment.
The applet looks like a media player, and can play a playlist of MIDI files given as parameters. It is available in three displays : light, medium, complete.
See the demonstration on Midi-zer
This software is free.

Attributes list
The MIDI Player Applet can be included in a web page like any other Java applet. However, you have to set parameters in the code with attributes to indicate some options and file locations to play. You can see in the next section examples of HTML codes to display the applet on a web page.
It is possible to assign an infinite number of files to the playlist. For this, they should be numbered consecutively from 1 to N. We can associate to a file: URL, title, and album.
For safety reasons, this applet only allows you to play MIDI files on the same server. So you can not add files to the playlist with absolute URLs (eg http://www.awebsite.com/file.mid). URLs must be relative URLs (eg ../midis/file.mid).
| Name | Description | Example of values |
|---|---|---|
| file_i | URL of the file no. i | ./midi/fichier.mid |
| title_i (optional) | Title of the file no. i | Crawling |
| album_i (optional) | Album of the file no. i | Linkin Park – Hybrid Theory |
| autostart (optional) | Set if the player starts playing automatically or not (true by default) | true | false |
| style (optional) | Set the style of the player (complete by default) | light | medium | complete |

Hi, any updates to this beautiful midi player?
It seems to hang on some occasions when people visit my site.
No update is planned yet.
Have you any idea why the player seems to hang on?
Did it already happen to you?
