That's weird, because I didn't have any midi OUT devices, but I swear I remember it playing files???

You sure it doesn't have some default way of playing MIDI files?  I know I heard it playing music..

I'll have to dig it up and try it again????  :confused::confused::confused:

Deluxe Music (speaking from experience with version 2, never used the original) has 2 ways to do MIDI. The first is "real" MIDI, with a hardware box, and I think it works through CAMD. The second is to just load in a MIDI file and reassign its instruments to IFF/8SVX samples. You can then re-save the file in the Amiga-native SMUS or CMUS format. The latter option comes with the limitations of Paula, of course. Most noticeable is the 4-voice limit, which manifests as notes being dropped if something is playing on a higher number of channels.
