I second what Stan says - I've been recently using a midi mixer type program and it doesn't "recognize" .midi files right off the bat, but they behave the same as the same file with a hacked extension of ".mid". The processor program does have a feature to look for all file types, and when I use that it handles the ".midi" files fine.
