[Trisquel-users] Digital audio player with free MIDI support?

2014-06-29 Thread alonivtsan
Rockbox supports MIDI, but only through a non-commerical plugin. Is there a player that can play it using a free plugin? Also, can MPlayer playback midi (VLC can using FluidSynth plugin)?

You might want to try Ext2Fsd. It is a driver for Ext2/3/4 supporting all versions of Windows from 2000 to 8, and i think it's free software under the GPL.

Blag is very outdated (although I think a new version is being developed). So the grub is probably very old. Try booting a Trisquel live CD and running `update-grub' as root.
