I haven't heard anything about it, and I worked a bunch with making my own today. I have a neat little Java program which exports a simple-to-read song file from a MIDI, and then I wrote a short script to play them back in Roblox.
It can read from as many tracks as are in the file. Currently it doesn't read volume or instrument (instrument is applied to the entire song), and the beats-per-minute is off by a random power-of-two * small-power-of-three because I don't know how to get the BPQ.
It ends up sounding very nice. Has anyone else managed it yet?
If you want to hear Still Alive playing on it, see this place: http://www.roblox.com/P-RTAL-Brand-new-P-RTAL-place?id=28205627
I'm shocked that Roblox can play it as nicely as it does.
I heard before that Roblox killed RIDI. Hearing this, I don't see how that's true. |

| Blobbyblobś is pretty good; I use it to make songs of my own. |

Is the volume really that loud? It's no louder than the actual song, is it?
I also couldn't find Blobbyblob's, I was looking for it. How can I find it? |

| try disconnecting your ethernet cable for like 2 or 3 seconds. music stops playing then blows your speakers just after that. |

Using java to interpret the MIDI is cheating, you have to read the bytecode yourself!
I'm currently working on a lua MIDI->RIDI script, and going to re-release the entire thing with better standards.
So while I haven't updated it in a while, I'm still working on it.
Also have a look at my old RIDI here: http://www.roblox.com/RIDI-Song-demonstration-place?id=43332356 |

I wish there was a Custom Sound instance, that works like the current one, with Play() and Stop() and all the others, but when you use Play() on it, it requires an array within the brackets, and that data, is all the notes.
So, something that we could make our own songs from, without the "bomb" issue as oysi said.

Direct MIDI conversion is nice because you can instantly preserve a whole song instead of decoding by hand.
I don't have much lag at all when listening to it, in my Portal place, at least. Although I basically have no network usage at all in it. And it is in the PlayerGui, so I'm not sure if it's localized or not. |

I loved the game, two thumbs up. The song got annoying, but it played nicely for me.
