I registered MidiGate but the files still don sound good. Why?
MidiGate is still only a MIDI player and it depends on what audio card you use. The main advantage of using MidiGate is for its queuing function. MIDI, as a medium, is usually not the first choice of classical music listeners: too many MIDI files make for rather poor performances (to be charitable) as compared with that of audio files containing live recordings of gifted musicians on real instruments.
