Sorry for not being clear ... I was thinking of using this as part of
the docs for the program stored on a local computer. My brain hadn't
gone to the point of remote computers, etc.

But, I suppose it all applies the same way ... if I've got a cgi
script, then that implies I'm running a server. And I am, just that
right now it's on my box in my office :)

Yeah. I get the same issue when I visit remote sites. I must enable
timidity as a server and try some of the remote files. I don't know if
that is the issue or if it is a matter of setting up the file
associations in my browser ... anyone have success on this?

Yeah, that's simple enough to do. Then I need a player for the
ogg/mp3. Oh I know ... I can use flash to play that :) Opps, cross
threading :)
