I was able to config Timidity to play classical midis, but for others midis the classical configuration does not works.

I know VLC plays midi, but needs soundfount configuration.

I would like to find a light and good software to play midi.

Soundfount support is not necessary, but it is appreciable.

foobar 2000, in addition to being a extremely configurable music player and lightweight, has a midi plugin which in my experience works pretty well, with almost no config (short of downloading the plugin to the right folder)

+1 for foobar 2000 which I would also consider 'light and good software' as requested by the OP! – Gareth Apr 13 '11 at 15:05
Thanks, it also works and foobar has the Portable version: portableappz.blogspot.com/2011/08/… – Apometron Sep 2 '11 at 18:29

You could use Winamp 2.80 if you want a player to play your *.mid files. You don't need to use the last version of Winamp. This one is too heavy if you need just a player to play simple *.mid files. Try it. You only need to download it. This can be done easily.

I have WinAmp Portable installed, but it is bloated. I use it just for tags work. portableappz.blogspot.com/2011/07/… – Apometron Sep 1 '11 at 9:16

I also use wv_player.exe to play my midis in command line. You can use this player which can be easily downloaded to play your midi files. Unzip it and put a copy of the ewxecutable - wv_player.exe - in C:\windows folder. So you go to the Command Prompt of Windows 7 and open the folder where you midis are, write wv_player.exe at the prompt and listen to your midis.

it might help to link to this software, rather than expecting people to look for it. Also, you can post both answers together i believe. – Journeyman Geek Aug 30 '11 at 7:46
Awesome. Terrific. It played a common midi in sleek time. Thanks a lot. webxpace.com/software – Apometron Sep 1 '11 at 9:18
