Game Crashes when selecting a song

[FormunaGit]

For some reason, it only can play the Wii theme. The log:

pygame-ce 2.4.1 (SDL 2.28.5, Python 3.10.12)

i think there was a previous issue where a guy had the timidity.cfg issue on linux

https://github.com/quasar098/midi-playground/issues/86 also https://github.com/quasar098/midi-playground/issues/28

also a potential fix might be here https://github.com/pygame/pygame/issues/343

It's the same issue as mine

[quasar098]

Sadly i did not, but i convert all the midi to flac and that works.
