I don't think your server is configured correctly with regard to MIME types of MIDI data... I just get lots of gibberish on my screen when I follow that link. I believe the server is sending it as "text/plain" instead of whatever is correct for MIDI ("audio/midi" maybe?).

I have this with some browsers and not with others. While we investigate, a work-around is to right click on the file, download it to a local disk, and try playing it from there.

Oops, I miswrote there... it's not MIDI, but MP3, so the proper MIME type is "audio/mpeg".
MSIE users don't have a problem with it because that browser violates the standards and second-guesses MIME types, but more standards compliant browsers like Mozilla expect the correct MIME type to be sent from the server, and if the server says it's "text/plain" (as this one does), it takes the server's word for it and shows it as plain text. That's what the HTTP standards actually say to do, but Microsoft never listens to standards.

It is in .mp3 format and does stream correctly with IE and Windows Media player set as the default for .mp3. Might depend on which application Netscape is set to use to handle .mp3. BTW, it sorta sounds like Tom Lehrer. -g
