IAWGunug.  This is simply a 'deeper cut' at musical synthesis [AKA MIDI].  The analogy of a player piano is quite apt.  MIDI files are instructions to a music synthesis device describing the notes to play, the instrument to emulate, how fast to play, the key, and the performance nuances.  These are NOT 'music files' [in the way we normally use that phrase] by any stretch of the imagination.  Crappy journalism!
