About MIDI

MIDI files instruct a computer’s sound card how to make a particular sound and send it to the speakers. MIDI files are very small. A typical .wav file of a 5-minute song can be 20 megabytes or more. A comparable MIDI file of the same song can be less than 1000 kilobytes.

​
Using MIDI

Hosting.com’s servers have the appropriate MIME types configured for full MIDI file support. You can use the .midi or .mid extension for your MIDI files.
