The Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) file format is a typical format for dynamic music that can be used not only for playing, but also for supporting dynamic music activity, such as musical instrument practice. However, almost all of the existing MIDI applications focus only on the playing features. In this paper, therefore, we implement a MIDI file play application that supports various dynamic features such as part-play repeating certain sections that the user wants, tone and speed control while playing a MIDI file, downloading MIDI files from a server, and lastly Digital Rights Management (DRM). By supporting these features, we are confident that our MIDI application will help users who wish to practice musical instruments to do so conveniently, while effectively protecting the copyright of their purchased MIDI files.
