I'm writing a database that stores music script, lyrics and a midi
file of the tunes. I'd like to store all this info into my .db file
rather than having 4 or 5 hundred .mid files on the cd rom.

Can I store midi files in as blob field and then play them back.

The Mediaplayer seems to need a filename ...

Thanks

that file?

Also, at least WAV files can be played directly from memory (using
Windows API calls), but I'm uncertain if this procedure can be used
with MIDI files as well.
