Okay, I''m writing a game with Delphi 6 and DelphiX but I''d like to use .MID files for the music during the game. I can''t seem to find a simple and free component or routine to play a MID file from a memorysteam. I know I can use tmediaplayer to play a file, but I want to store my .mid files elsewhere myself. Does *anybody* know of a simple routine to do this? I am really looking for something freeware with source if possible. Surely it''s not *that* difficult from within windows? Thanks for any advice, Mark

DirectMusic which is part of DirectX can play MIDI files, however I don''t think it can play those from a memory stream.

Other than that, you could use TMediaPlayer that comes with Delphi (check out the "System" tab) or the MMSystem routines.

I also believe that sound sytems like BASS, FMOD and HOUSEMARQUE (used to be MIDAS) can play MIDIs and most likely they can also play them from memory strams.
