When trying to play the sample sounds at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(musical_note)#Middle_C
the effort fails with
Codec not supported:
VLC could not decode the format "MIDI" (MIDI Audio)
Is it possible to fix this? I've never tinkered with
sound on the Pi apart from playing YouTube videos and
haven't a clue where to start.
This is on a Pi 4 running
Linux raspberrypi 5.4.83-v7l+ #1379 SMP Mon Dec 14 13:11:54 GMT 2020
armv7l GNU/Linux
Thanks for reading,

Midi is not sound.
It is just a instruction to use instrument x with note y.
Each midi player sounds different.
Download midi file and get some kind of midi player.
You will have to find something called "soundfont".
This is a database with sampled instruments.

Yes, but VLC can do this. Explained on its wiki: https://wiki.videolan.org/Midi/
Which was the first google hit for "vlc midi" ...
*can* being the operative word...
