## Detailed Description

MIDI music player for MacOS X using QuickTime.

This music player should work in all MacOS X releases starting from 10.0, as QuickTime is an integral part of the system since the old days of the Motorola 68k-based Macintoshes. The only extra dependency apart from QuickTime itself is Carbon, which is included since 10.0 as well.

QuickTime gets fooled with the MIDI files from Transport Tycoon Deluxe because of the ``.gm suffix. To force QuickTime to load the MIDI files without the need of dealing with the individual QuickTime components needed to play music (data source, MIDI parser, note allocators, synthesizers and the like) some Carbon functions are used to set the file type as seen by QuickTime, using `FSpSetFInfo()` (which modifies the file's resource fork).
