Boris, look for an old package called ClipTunes from Triad Venture.
Someone may be willing to sell you a copy. It includes an XCMD for playing
MidiSynth music. (Mike Nuzzi was kind enough to let me include it in a new
version of my "BookStacks Press" stack, which will come out on Hyper
Quarterly 3. Don't ask me when that will be :-( It is also included in the
"HyperNotes" series of stacks.

If you have a hard time finding this XCMD, then do what a lot of scripters
do and turn your music into a large rSound. Attach the rSound to the stack
and use the "Play soundname" command to share it with the world.

The third possibility is to emulate the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of
Traal, and stick towels in your ears.

: 
You'll get a text file from HyperMover listing the resources that didn't
make the trip. You won't get crashes on the other machine from using the
XCMDs, but you will get an error message.
