: I believe the M1A1 files are the original soundtrack files but the .mp3s
: average about 3 MB per song, whereas the .mov's that i'm hosting average
: around 100 KB or less. Other than the file size difference, the quality of
: the .mp3s sounds (possibly) marginally better than the .movs so there may
: be some modification there. I considered, briefly, hosting the .mp3s but I
: have nowhere near the web-resources it would require to store them, let
: alone serve them to anyone. Anyway, the .mov's are practically pure rips
: from the original M1 'Music' file, the only modification they've undergone
: is a conversion from .midi to .mov... which, and correct me if I'm wrong,
: I'm pretty sure doesn't alter the instruments or sound quality in any way.

You're not wrong. The .mov file extension only ties the file to Quicktime Player, but it's still a MIDI file. Quicktime Player and/or iTunes can play anything Quicktime understands (Yes, you can play MIDIs and movies in iTunes, but you'll only get the audio from movies)
