I agree with Andrew. MIDI music, to me, sounds akin to something that used to emanate from my old Commodore 64. It was state-of-the-art for its time, but I don't see how adding audio to this site would enhance its value on the entertainment scale.
I've used sound before on a couple sites and I really try to keep it to a minimum since visitors find it annoying to both listen to and download without having the option to stop it.
