Obtains the MIDI file format of the File provided.

  Obtains the MIDI file format of the File provided.
The File must point to valid MIDI file data.
Returns: a MidiFileFormat object describing the MIDI file format
Parameters:
- file - the File from which file format information should be extracted
Throws:
- InvalidMidiDataException - if the File does not point to valid MIDI file data recognized by the system
- IOException - if an I/O exception occurs

  Obtains the MIDI file format of the input stream provided.

  Obtains the MIDI file format of the input stream provided. The stream must
point to valid MIDI file data. In general, MIDI file readers may
need to read some data from the stream before determining whether they
support it. These parsers must
be able to mark the stream, read enough data to determine whether they
support the stream, and, if not, reset the stream's read pointer to its original
position. If the input stream does not support this, this method may fail
with an IOException.
Returns: a MidiFileFormat object describing the MIDI file format
Parameters:
- stream - the input stream from which file format information should be extracted
Throws:
- InvalidMidiDataException - if the stream does not point to valid MIDI file data recognized by the system
- IOException - if an I/O exception occurs
See Also: InputStream.markSupported(), InputStream.mark(int),

  Obtains the MIDI file format of the URL provided.

  Obtains the MIDI file format of the URL provided. The URL must
point to valid MIDI file data.
Returns: a MidiFileFormat object describing the MIDI file format
Parameters:
- url - the URL from which file format information should be extracted
Throws:
- InvalidMidiDataException - if the URL does not point to valid MIDI file data recognized by the system
- IOException - if an I/O exception occurs

  Obtains a MIDI sequence from the File provided.

  Obtains a MIDI sequence from the File provided. The File must
point to valid MIDI file data.
Returns: a Sequence object based on the MIDI file data pointed to by the File
Parameters:
- file - the File from which the Sequence should be constructed
Throws:
- InvalidMidiDataException - if the File does not point to valid MIDI file data recognized by the system
- IOException - if an I/O exception occurs

  Obtains a MIDI sequence from the input stream provided.

  Obtains a MIDI sequence from the input stream provided. The stream must
point to valid MIDI file data. In general, MIDI file readers may
need to read some data from the stream before determining whether they
support it. These parsers must
be able to mark the stream, read enough data to determine whether they
support the stream, and, if not, reset the stream's read pointer to its original
position. If the input stream does not support this, this method may fail
with an IOException.
Returns: a Sequence object based on the MIDI file data contained in the input stream.
Parameters:
- stream - the input stream from which the Sequence should be constructed
Throws:
- InvalidMidiDataException - if the stream does not point to valid MIDI file data recognized by the system
- IOException - if an I/O exception occurs
See Also: InputStream.markSupported(), InputStream.mark(int),

  Obtains a MIDI sequence from the URL provided.

  Obtains a MIDI sequence from the URL provided. The URL must
point to valid MIDI file data.
Returns: a Sequence object based on the MIDI file data pointed to by the URL
Parameters:
- url - the URL for which the Sequence should be constructed
Throws:
- InvalidMidiDataException - if the URL does not point to valid MIDI file data recognized by the system
- IOException - if an I/O exception occurs
