About embed midi files on a webpage

Question

I am working on a project related to vintage web designs. I would like to embed and autoplay a midi file but:

1. It doesen't work on IOS (I tried with my ipad)
2. On Firefox, sometimes the tune is not played, I don't know why.

Does the midi player depends on the browser or a plugin? Can I find a univeral alternative to play my tune?

I am using the <embed> tag this way:

<embed src="tune.mid" hidden="true" autostart="true" autoplay="true">

Your HTML is OK. The problem is that some lower class browsers have lost the ability to play midi files. They have to install an add on. Real Player used to be a good solution, but now they are pushing a cloud subscription. There are plenty of other midi players around, but the users have to install one.
