ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

TiMidity++

Timidity++ is like a musician who can play any song you want, but instead of using a guitar or a piano, it uses your computer to play sounds.

Let's say you want to listen to your favorite song on your computer, but you don't have the actual music file. Timidity++ can help with that! It can read a special type of file called a MIDI file, which has all the notes and rhythms of the song written in code.

Once it reads the MIDI file, Timidity++ can turn those code instructions into actual sounds that you can hear. It can even create different instrument sounds, like a guitar or a drum, to make the music sound more realistic.

So, Timidity++ is like a computer music player that can turn code into music for you to enjoy!
