Rockbox supports MIDI, but only through a non-commerical plugin. Is there a player that can play it using a free plugin? Also, can MPlayer playback midi (VLC can using FluidSynth plugin)?

You can use TiMidity++.

As far as I understand, aloniv is searching for playing MIDI on a portable music player.

You can consider playing MIDI files on an Android device. I found that application in the F-Droid free software repository: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=midi&fdid=com.midisheetmusic

Thank you Magic Banana and Legimet. I am not interested in a touch based device just simple software to run on a handheld player such as an iPod or a Sansa device. My iPod already runs mostly free software as it runs Rockbox, however in order to playback MIDI there one needs to copy some non-commercial files which is not ideal (the implementation there however is much better than FluidSynth and TiMidity++).

Regarding the MPlayer question: I asked it as that is the player I mostly use on my PC and would prefer to play MIDI files using that instead of VLC if possible.
