I think I have some compressed midi files that won't play
on Windows Media Player. Is there any way I can
uncompress them?
 
A MIDI is a MIDI, it can not be a WMA if it's a MIDI.

What is the extension of the MIDI files? In other words, what format are they in
like *.mid or *.wma, etc. It could be your soundcard. Read the next paragraph.

played on different PCs. Since the file doesn't contain sounds but
instructions, your PC's soundcard has to follow these instructions and
generate the sounds using its own library of instrument sounds. Just as
different musicians might play the same note in different ways, different
makes and models of soundcards can vary in the sound they reproduce to
emulate a musical instrument. Most soundcards follow the General MIDI
standard for identifying musical instruments.
