Re: [fluid-dev] Re: FluidSynth 1.1.1 has no sound on Win XP

[Felix Krause]

Hi James,

there are no downloads available on the MidiPlayer page you linked. I navigated 
through the page and found a midiplayer.jar download. However, if I try to 
execute that, I get some NoClassDefFound error. If you'd link a working binary, 
or tell me what exactly to download, I might be able to test this.

Cheers,
Felix
