O'Neill's PDF document query

The introduction to the brilliant PDF document O'Neill's The Dance Music of Ireland says that "clicking on a title will play the
corresponding MIDI file if your computer is configured with a default MIDI player". How do I configure my computer with a default player? At present, Windows Media Player plays any other midi files I have, but no joy with the O'Neill's tunes. Any help greatly appreciated.

I had a similar problem with the digital tradition database and got the midis to finally work after installing quicktime and fumbling around with the controls. Don't know if that helps.

Most likely Windows Media Player is your default player. Have you tried clicking on a title to see what happens? (I would think it would automatically launch Windows Media Player...)

I hate quicktime! Whenever I try to play a video it completely brings my machine to a halt.

Re: O'Neill's PDF document query

just google in "o'neill's pdf". It was one of the first few links. Harmer, I agree quicktime works strangely sometimes for videos but it works just fine for me as midi default.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply. The fault was entirely my own: I hadn't extracted the files from the zipped folder. Amadán!
