Um, what exactly is it you want??

I`ve never before heard that you need to do anything special to your
*server* to have a midi file on your page. I, for one, most certainly
didn`t!

You can use the <embed> tag, but it works only on Netscape AFAIK, so
you have to use the Micro$oft version <bgsound> at the same time.

Of course both aren`t really good style because you should always give
the user the freedom to chose if he wants to hear the music. That makes
it even easier. Just set a plain old link to the MIDI file from a nice
icon.
