Vorbis - Apr 2014 - need help

Dear Vorbis folks,

I use a 64bit MacBookPro, have installed the XiphQT to Library/Components as
instructions say.
I have set iTunes to accept 32 bit as instruction say.

Using Safari, on a page (in Wikipedia), when I click on ?Play?, a new
tab/browser window opens and I get the message:  ?Missing Plug-In?.  The url of
the page where I get the ?Missing Plug-In? message is: 
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2a/Just_major_third_on_C.mid

Would you please tell me what other steps I need to take to be able to play this
audio example?

Many thanks,
Rebecca

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:
