Midi files not playing on Totem

You need download and install timidity packages software to can play midi files:

sudo apt-get install timidity timidity-interfaces-extra kmid

I'm bit a "i" is kmidi:

sudo apt-get install timidity timidity-interfaces-extra kmidi

sorry what?

Open a Terminal and command this:

sudo apt-get install timidity timidity-interfaces-extra kmidi

You need a password, then download a Soff-synth to simulate a music machine.

So... do I need to download anything? And I only want to play them not make them

By the way I don't have the internet. I am using this on my Mac then I transfer stuff to my Linux.

Linux use Software to synthesizer midi files (.mid) your Mac use a software to do it, you need download a soft-synth, your sound card not have a synth of 128 polyphonic voices . If you don't have internet sorry.

If you are using Ubuntu, install the following by typing in a terminal:

sudo apt-get install timidity timidity-interfaces-extra timidity-el

If you are using Kubuntu add kmid to the end of the line above.

I play my mid and midi files via Exaile, available for installation via Applications, Add/Remove.

I don't have the internet!

I am sorry to read that you do not have an internet connection.

Without an internet connection you cannot update your Ubuntu operating system nor can you download any programmes that you might like.

...and how will you get limewire?...you will need an internet connection for that.

Regrettably, until you get an internet connection, no-one can help you.

You could try an internet cafe and hire a temporary connection.

At least on Ubuntu 10.10 and Totem 2.32, is seems Totem does not requires Timidity any-more to be able to play MIDI files. I've just checked it.
