I send midi songs through the Soundblaster player to a music workstation

and had some problems with some midi files. Some files played only few

voices even if the midi file contained full orchestral song.

I found that these midi files contained many tracks that did not play

something but contained text information about the author or advertisement.

My player seems to limit the number of tracks to the first 16 tracks.

That was very bad because many of the tracks were empty and other

important tracks were not played.

(Critics to Creative Labs: Why didn t you ignore short tracks that only

contain　　text information?)



First I used midi2txt and txt2midi converters to manually move

the comment tracks to the end of the midi file.　　

Then I had the idea to implement a simple program that can do that

and added some other track sorting features.
