172749 2003-09-03 09:13:00 I have just bought an HP iPAQ 1940 which comes 'bundled' with Windows Media Player Version 9 for Pocket PCs. However, it will not play midis. :_|

Any ideas? ?:|

Regards.

PS If the advise is "Why?" to WMP v9, explain how to remove it and what to put on instead please!! :D

172750 2003-09-03 11:53:00 Does it not even prompt to download a new codec for it?
It should...!

172751 2003-09-03 11:57:00 i might be wrong but ithought midi's has more to do with the sound card rather than the media app. tweak'e (174)
172752 2003-09-03 13:25:00 Codecs a!! Mmm, well I've just been to a site that said just that. So have just this moment been peeking ( ;-) ) @ a site about it. 'Tis midnight now, so will have a better look on the morrow!!

172753 2003-09-03 13:29:00 Its my understanding that the sound card stores the sounds/notes of the instruments,and a midi file is just the little bit of info that tell it what to play and when...which gives ya the tune. metla (154)
172754 2003-09-04 13:40:00 Thanks for the 'prod' folks. ;-)
Having thought that midis were 'just another sound file' a bit more research shows as indeed has been said about midis. So thinking that the iPAQ 1940 most likely won't have a 'sound card' as such, I got to thinking of midi to mp3 converters.

Any ideas, or should I start another thread?

Regards :D
