According to this thread QuickTime X can't play MIDI files but QT7 can
and so folks are encouraged to get that and install it. Actually the
poster said QTX prompted him to get QT7 when they tried to play some
midi files.

Hi Missy,
Actually, VLC is one of the first things I tried. Then QuickTime 7, Neither of
these is playing anything. I don't think it's the software; my hunch it is
something else, but what? For instance, Garage Band plays its files, the very
few that I have.
Thanks for the response.

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear you're having midi troubles, but on the other hand,
I'm very happy that there's finally someone
other than me experiencing this problem. So far as I know, this is a lion bug.
Please contact Apple and complain about it.
Midi playback actually works the same way it used to, but unfortunately, the
quality is absolutely horrible now, so it would
almost be better if it didn't work at all. Until it gets fixed, your best bet
might be to download something like vlc media
player and use it in conjunction with a sound font. To me, it doesn't sound
nearly as good as midi playback under snow
leopard did, which is 1 of the many reasons I haven't fully switched over to
Lion yet, but it's a viable short-term solution
until apple gets around to fixing whatever they broke. Good luck, and I hope
this helps.
Missy
