Dumb question

How come the midi files don’t play when I DL a user created file of a song that is described as having a bass or keyboard part? I’m new at this obviously. Thanks in advance.

Welcome, LucidAcoustic. Certainly not a dumb question however, as this question has been answered many times on this forum, spend just a little bit of your time searching through the forum and you should be able to find the answers to your question. Here’s the link I came up with just searching on the term “how to play song”

The midi files are there for editing or CHANGING what the song’s creator has given to you. You need to use the sng files.

Thanks for the fast response. I’ll Have a look around the Forum. Merry Christmas!
