Jens-
Is there any easy way to verify that a file is a MIDI
file?
We only allow uploads of files for which we can verify that the content
matches the file suffix.
The Unix file command supports many file formats, including MIDI files:
moeller@peace:~/projekte/wiki$ file Soundtrack.mid
Soundtrack.mid: Standard MIDI data (format 1) using 12 tracks at 1/120
moeller@peace:~/projekte/wiki$ mv Soundtrack.mid xyue3r923
moeller@peace:~/projekte/wiki$ file xyue3r923
xyue3r923: Standard MIDI data (format 1) using 12 tracks at 1/120
file uses header information ("magic numbers") to determine the file type.
