Hi Rebecca,

For a quick solution, if you save the MIDI file, and download and install
VLC, you should be able to play the file:

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html

Or supposedly there are other MIDI players offered in the Mac App Store,
though they would also probably refer to downloading/saving the MIDI file
then playing it, not playing it directly in the browser.

What version of OSX are you running?   I was just reading that Mountain
Lion and Mavericks removed MIDI plugins from those OS versions.

I think XiphQT is to enable playback of Xiph formats using quicktime, and
MIDI isn't a Xiph format.   The Xiph formats include:

Ogg
Vorbis
FLAC
Theora
Speex
Icecast

Or, here is a complicated looking workaround:
