Isn't there a problem for name that toon i.e. someone might not have the
same download speed as another so they hear the music last :-\

Then what you do is create a room beneath everyone (no shift allowed and no object clicking) with all of the midi's you're going to be using. On top of all these sounds, have a null sound so that the midi's are not actually heard. This way, all music is pre-downloaded before you start playing. Oh, and you'd want your object path hidden using a php script of some sort.

It would be good to pre-download them anyway, so that the name of the downloading file doesn't give it away.

well you could just do song1.mid song2.mid or midi1.mid midi2.mid that
way people don't know what the midi is just by downloading it.

Depending on how you went about it, that could introduce problems of it's own. For example, if you numbered a bunch of songs, someone could download them externally (by number) and play them in advance, so that knowing the number would be enough to know what song it was... and if you changed which song was saved on which number from time to time, then people with the old versions in their cache would hear the wrong song.

Yep... which means if you have enough people playing it, somebody's bound to cheat if they can.
