Garageband on mac does not export midi files, u have to buy Logic Pro to open up Garageband files to export to midi. ($$$) Reaper is a great program for recording and can export midi files both Mac and PC. :) example of midi file, play in browser or Android http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39276137/enya.MID Title Comments Hi, I was playing with MediaPlayer in android and discovered that it plays .mid (midi) files in Emulator and actual devices...Midi files are audio information that a device turns into sound...the file sizes for most full length songs are only around 5kb...most midi files can sound a bit cheesy but because of the tiny file size might be worth it...this could be a cool feature in future buzztouch plugins. ps.
