MIDI Warehouse is a nifty little Mac utility for playing and managing Standard MIDI Files. The player window holds one standard MIDI file, and displays its current tempo, System Exclusive status, Control Change status, Voice Name, Panpot, and Pitch Bend for each MIDI channel. Its playlist window can have literally millions of MIDI files ready to be played back sequentially, or random order.
