Hi Mr.Mickiman, How are you? It is nice to talk to you online. I've converted generated best.midi file to mp3 using zamzar.com, and got music played. I hope this information helps.

but could anybody tell us why?

I have met the problem too,converting midi to mp3 really solved my problem,but I still don't know why this happened.
Finnally,I solved the problem.It maybe depands on what Interpreter you use to play the midi.I try pygame to play it and failed,but when I play it with timidity and it worked!

you can play best.midi directly, use timidity
