“No MIDI files found. Try a different search” …
Here’s what the FAQ says:
> How it works

> Search a song, pick a MIDI source, hit Generate. The Wario Synthesis Engine analyses the MIDI and resynthesises it using Web Audio oscillators tuned to mimic the Game Boy's 4-channel sound chip. All processing runs in your browser.
Maybe you could list examples for midis you though sounded cool next time you share this, or in a comment.
... no but it so totally could be.

Kinda weird that search results seem hard-capped at 5. I guess it keeps things simple.
Because I might learn something new: are there additional reasons for having an enable audio button that can’t be covered by the fact that the user has to interact with the page to Play the song anyways?

Reminded me of the first time I learned to program, I made an "ocarina songs" player in the console. It plays 3 songs. I figured them note by note, finding the notes online, testing until it was right :) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B81lhIzyJLJbNTViWmh0bUlYMzg...
