MIDI Music

MIDI is the basis for most electronic music today and is a format readable by most modern synthesizers and computer soundcards. MIDI files do not contain the actual music of a song, just information telling your computer's soundcard what notes to play. Unlike a massive .wav file that eats up a staggering 10mb per minute of audio, depending on the complexity of the arrangement a 5 minute MIDI song can be as small as 20k, meaning it downloads almost instantly.

More recently MP3 has become the standard for internet audio and has replaced MIDI as the preferred method of background website audio. MP3 streaming via HTTP is fully supported in your hosting plan.
