When trying to play the sample sounds at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(musical_note)#Middle_C
the effort fails with

Codec not supported:
VLC could not decode the format "MIDI" (MIDI Audio)

Is it possible to fix this? I've never tinkered with
sound on the Pi apart from playing YouTube videos and
haven't a clue where to start.

This is on a Pi 4 running
Linux raspberrypi 5.4.83-v7l+ #1379 SMP Mon Dec 14 13:11:54 GMT 2020
armv7l GNU/Linux

Thanks for reading,
