    I just downloaded some midi files, but it doesn't seem like my computer can play them
    I can hear the audio, but I can't see the video.
    Using WMP btw
    any help?

    Midi is an old audio format... I don't believe there is supposed to be video.

    midi is a text based format for multichannel audio. It does not contain video.

    yes, a midi file contains notes that are played on different instruments.

    you have a piano keyboard?

    use synthesia for it. (look on TPB or whatever for the full version)
