I’ve got VLC, and that’s what the default was on the context menu in finder, but I got an error message about not having the right plug-ins. Any suggestions? Hadn’t thought of it before, but I did find an on-line converter that allowed me to convert the midi to MP3. Fortunately the track was in piano which was what I was looking for, so all good. The volume is a little low on the MP3, but I can live with it.
