Kindle fire not playing midi files

jckindle · 01-27-2012, 08:22 PM

I can't seem to get kindle fire to play midi files.

For example, on this site that I really like, kindle fire player doesn't work: http://hymntime.com/tch/htm/i/i/g/iigowise.htm

Another one http://www.hymnal.net/hymn.php/ns/367 (midi files don't play)

Is there some plugin I have to install on kindle fire to play midi files? In the contents formats supported (http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Fire-Am.../dp/B0051VVOB2), it says the fire can play midi files, so I don't understand where the problem is.

Thank you so much for any help.

Might need a different app to play them
Maybe Winamp.
you can get it at the 1mobile app store

There's an app on the Google Marketplace called MODo that I use that works fairly well. I use it to play some chiptunes from NES and SNES games on my phone. If you can grab the APK for it from somewhere, it would probably work for you.

My Mac can't even play MIDIs correctly, if that makes you feel any better. I think whatever audio codec changed, it took a hit to MIDIs, because they all sound wonky now.
