'file' give the same output on my machine, but none of my media players
get any sound. MIDI files are a simple format, right? I shouldn't need any
special software/hardware? WinAMP and Windows Media Player act like
they're playing the files but there isn't any sound. I verified that my
volume isn't muted; I can play WAV files, MP3, etc. just fine.
Don't know if this is really much of a show-stopper since the point of
lilypond is to typeset the music, AFAIKT.
