Is there any editor that can open those? I renamed them to .mid (since each world's music folder is called MIDIZ  ) and Winamp plays them fine that way, yet a game and a great sound editor that normally play MIDIz fine can't recognize the musics. |

XMI format is really similar to MID, but it has a few new controllers and some other stuff, so it's quite possible that some players won't recignize it. If a Winamp plays it correctly, so what do you want then? Create your own music, or just listen to them? |

Still don't know what do you want.
The game doesn't play MIDis, it plays XMI - those formats are different so it won't play MID when it expects XMI one ( some games may recognize extension and choose right way to decode its contents, I don't know does Gruntz do the trick ).

Uhh, I just wanted to know if there was a way to convert it so I could add it to a map I'm making for another game.

Of course there is. But *.XMI is so old, that there is practicly no converter for this. The only one I know is 'Awave Studio', but it's shareware only ... shareware version is really limited, actually useless in this case. I know that it can read XMI and save it in other format.
Does this game supports MID only? I'm asking, because you could convert it to wmv or mp3 - it's easier then.

Nah, it can open MID, MP3, S3M, OGG, WMA, XM, IT, and many more... I'm gonna look for the program you mentioned. Thanks  |

lol ... I assume there's no XMI on this list, right?  I remember that few years ago I recorded all of the Gruntzy music and saved it on my hard drive ( of course, now I can't find it anywhere ). But, if you wouldn't succeed with converting XMI, you could record them. While Gruntz is running, open some recording program ( and which you could activate while playing - then it would record and save piece of music you want to. Of course, you should turn off SFX and Gruntzy voicez ). PS. What game are you talking about? ;] |

Doom, specifically Skulltag, a source port (that can play all Doom-engine based games, has OpenGL, and more stuff ) By the way I often have a hard time recording stuff playing on the computer (difficult to find a decent program to do the job). For some odd reason, when I attempt to convert the file to another format, it finishes rendering the MIDI data and then tells me the save was aborted because the unregistered version of the program only allows you to save once before restarting it. I can't get that because I didn't save anything before... damn shareware stuff.  |

As I said - useless  As for 'live' recording ... It's not a matter of certain software ... but proper system configuration and/or your sound card. On my previous computer I could record all sound there with some software, but now - the same software, but recorded track is silent  no matter what channel I choose  And, if you will be able to record sound, there might another problem - quality ... So it's not this easy ... unfortunately But it's possible you'll get lucky |
