I have entered author and copyright in the info selection in NWC and then saved the file as a midi file. I expected to see the author and copyright info when I play the saved midi file but it doesn't display. I am playing the midi files with windows media player. Can anything be done to get standard midi media players to display such info?
I'll bite my tongue on the issue of WMP being a standard midi player... and suggest instead VanBasco's midi player (http://www.vanbasco.com), which does exactly what you want, plus a lot more. Enjoy! (... and it's free)
The copyright information is indeed stored in the MIDI file, as Fred noted. But whether or not it is displayed, depends on the player.
Well, a lot of things depend on the player.
However, I remember that some people (or software?) use their names/address as instrument names to ensure they are kept when imported in a sequencer, or shown by some players.
I think I remember a file of Andrew with this, am I wrong?
