Good Midi player for win 7

[Old Geaser]

I have been looking for a good midi player that is compatible with win 7.
Have tried a few but found none that will play. I do not need all of the
bells and whistles, just something that I can load a few folders that have
about 20 midi files each. On win xp, I was using Cowan but it does not want
to work right on win 7. Any Suggestions?

Do you have some objection to Windows Media Player, which you already
have?

Thanks for the replies. I did try win media player. Could not figure it
out. I downloaded Winamp and have it loaded with 10 midi folders. It seems
to be working fine. Like most things, there is a learning curve to figure
out. At age 85 that does not come easy. Thanks again,

Bert

If you want a decent player, with some control over it and.........a built
in Roland sound canvas (ok, virtual) that has some great sounds..try and get
the Roland VSC
I found it for free a while back..not sure what the situation is now.

Winamp works very well for me, and you can load up literally thousands of
midi files, if you have that many. I have about 10,000 in my collection.

You can adjust the midi decoder if you find the volume is logarithmic or
linear and should be vice versa. That will give the volume the same
sensitivity for midi files as it is for mp3 files.

There is an old program called juke (http://www.wolosoft.com/en/) that I
used to use a lot that plays midi files quite well.

If you play MIDI files, you should really get XMPLAY and load the SOUNDFONT
plugin so that you can play midi files with really great sounding
instruments.
