Re: [Freecycle-users] Corrupt midi output file

[Marco]

I'm a bit further now, MTrk means that only the track chunk is saved, not
the header.

Can anyone sent me a correct midi output file, just t have a look what's
in there?

I'll try to built a correct midi file from that.

Thanks & regards, Marco
