Midi File Play Option

I'm trying to utilize the option of having a play button in my downloads page next to my midi files. However, it doesn't seem to work with the file extension. For a temporary fix I am converting the Midi files to mp3 files for the play function alone however this is kind of tedious and I have hundreds of these midi files which need to be distributed on my site. Is there any way to play the midi files using the pre-existing player functionality?

Hi, for now I don't know if HTML5 can play the MIDI or if flow player can play it?

In Phoca Download, files can be played by HTML 5 or Flow player, so if some of the methods can play midi, then the extension of the midi needs to be set for playing files in Phoca Download - the code needs to be modified. :idea:

Well if it helps i've tried having the HTML 5 option set to yes and to no and it doesn't display the play or the preview link with a midi file.
