Thanks a lot, just used this setup successfully today.
Furthermore, I figured out how to play all the XMI files in an application. I used XMPlay with the "MIDI input plugin", both found here:

Quick instructions:
You need two files:
1mgm.sf2 - from
http://p99.yourfirefly.com/1mgm.sf2
synthusr.sf2 - from your EQ directory
Install XMPlay
Launch XMPlayer, right click title bar, Options and stuff
Go to Plugins->Input, double click "MIDI (rev.12)"
With Bank 000 selected, click 'add' button, add synthusr.sf2, then 1mgm.sf2. Make sure 1mgm.sf2 is on top.
click Apply, close
You can now drag .xmi files from the EQ directory to the XMPlayer playlist and enjoy the awesome tunes.
Right-click the next/previous buttons to skip between subsongs
