by Navigator, then on Applications. (see below) |
|
Click on the "new type" button on the top right. The box below should appear.
|
|
Fill in the "new type boxes like
the picture here. |
|
You can also "browse" for your
player by clicking the browse button and finding the mplayer like the picture below. |
|
Click OK all the
way out of the preferences of Netscape. You're finished! |
|
Netscape will
start up a new box for every midi file you play. Don't forget to close out these extra boxes!!! It will really slow down your machine if you don't. |
|
Before you try any of these
suggestions, go back to the student page and try one of the midi play-alongs. If it works, don't do anything! Most computers today do all of this automatically! |
