How do I restart it?

You can't do that
I guess I can't forward either?

Elegant in it's simplicity.

tells me nothing.
You need to get a sequencer if you want full featured MIDI
playback, aplaymidi is just a simple utility, a toy
basically.

You mean to say that to play back a midi filed with pause,
back up or forward, I need to use a sequencer?
You're saying that there is no midi player in linux that
allows the simple controls of a tape player?
I'm running rh9/planet ccrma, I can't find a player there. I
figured that's because I'm a slowhead. Is there none?
Is there a midi file player for the 2.6 kernal, fc?? kernel?
If there's nothing, I'm starting to think linux is real weak
on midi playback. By the way, could you comment on my recent
question on tuning
a midi keyboard?
Its probably more accurate than the piano tuners tuning forks
if its had any fine tuning done reset back to no corrections.
The crystals used as the reference generators are typically
better than .001% accurate and you can tune the piano/whatever
to the keyboard with good confidence that you are at least as
correct as the tuning fork the piano tuner used to use.
