Please note: Apple's Safari browser has stopped supporting midi sound files. Google's Chrome and Microsoft's IE and some other browsers do support midi files. However, since midi files are not really true music files, other browsers may drop their support, too. Midi files tell the browser what sounds in its software to play, like sheet music tells the musicians what to play. But the other sound files, such as mp3's, are like hearing the orchestra play.
So I would recommend that you start converting your midi files to mp3. They'll also sound better and louder as mp3's. Here's a good online file converter tool that works very well. This website also has tools for converting text files.
