Playing MIDI files
Unfortunately, not all MIDI files are created equal, and not all browsers have all of the right plug-ins to play MIDI files. If you get an error message telling you you need a plug-in for any MIDI files, you can (not really) follow these (now useless) instructions (from 1996) to set up the browser to use Microsoft's Media Player to play Midi files.
I should also note that some of the MIDI files are quite good and some are pretty poor musically, but they all convey the simple notion I was looking for: "Here's a song that relates to this state." If the relationship seems obscure, look here.
