Play MIDI on Ubuntu 13.10

By default, you can't play MIDI on Ubuntu 13.10.
You have to install MIDI player such as Timidity.

I used Ubuntu Software Centre to install Timidity. Just search for 'timidity', and it will show up as 'Software sound renderer (MIDI sequencer, MOD player)'. I also chose 'fluid-soundfont-gm' in the optional add-ons.

We have to use command line to open Timidity.

timidity yourmidifile.mid

If you want to use GUI:

timidity -ia
