Isn't that is because MIDI isn't a music file on it's own, but a kind of sequence. Right?
Exactly, MIDI is just "sheet music" that tells the system which notes to generate, there is no actual sound data. Its nice because it allows for extremely small file sizes compared to audio files, but is such a complete and utter pain in the ass to deal with. When creating programs that use various audio formats, you can more or less deal with them in the same ways, just making some exceptions for the specific type, but MIDI is a whole different animal, and has absolutely nothing in common with other common audio formats. I don't even worry about trying to maintain MIDI compatibility anymore, its just not worth the hassle.

Doesn't work with MIDI, though.
As far as I know, that really isn't going to be possible, or at least within the scope, of this project. I don't know a way to get the duration of a MIDI file except to convert it to another format such as WAV and read it that way. Needless to say, that is not a simple task, and it would be a bigger project to do that than what I am currently doing. There are a very few third-party libraries out there that can do it, but I am not going to add any (rather large) dependencies just to accomplish it. As far as I know, they work as I already said and convert it to another format to read it, which is horrible inefficient.

the current laptop set up, Arch Linux + Gnome 3.whatever the latest is
I love it.
@Praelium: That's exactly the type of wallpaper I like to use on my phone; I'm surprised that there aren't more out there like it. Yours seems really well done, especially considering you made it yourself!

It would be awesome to have that much screen real estate! What video card are you using?
