Musikman,

Another alternative are soundfonts, if you have a creative labs card installed or another softsynth available that will load and play them. Most of them are written with GM patches. There are some pretty good ones out there, including a free one called Personal copy that has very good sounds "for what it costs".

I just played the midifile of "What child is this" using the personal copy soundfont, and the sonic quality rivals that of an MP3 of the same song that was posted here by another member, played through the Tyros.
