Any software to convert midi to mp3?

[Linux-Blue]

I have tried searching in "synaptic package manage" but only received two. Tried 'TiMidity++' that says you can convert, but I see no option where that is available.

I have downloaded the classic doom music, and it actually plays on my smartphone under midi. I am not bothered by old school music. sort of grew up on it.

To have classic doom in mp3 would be best.
The most crucial thing for me, is a gap at the end of a song. I typically like a 3 second gap, but none of the songs do.

Thanks in advance

getting some problems:

[root@localhost doom test]# lame --preset d_adrian.mid doom1.mp3
LAME 32bits version 3.98 (http://www.mp3dev.org/)

Error: You did not enter a valid profile and/or options with --preset

Available profiles are:

   <fast>        medium
   <fast>        standard
   <fast>        extreme
                 insane
          <cbr> (ABR Mode) - The ABR Mode is implied. To use it,
                             simply specify a bitrate. For example:
                             "--preset 185" activates this
                             preset and uses 185 as an average kbps.

    Some examples:

 or "lame-actual --preset fast standard <input file> <output file>"
 or "lame-actual --preset cbr 192 <input file> <output file>"
 or "lame-actual --preset 172 <input file> <output file>"
 or "lame-actual --preset extreme <input file> <output file>"

For further information try: "lame-actual --preset help"
[root@localhost doom test]# lame-actual --preset fast standard d_adrian.mid doom1.mp3
Warning: unsupported audio format
[root@localhost doom test]#

directly to mp3 will not go, how i can read...

hen, just run the “fluidsynth” tool, specifying the SoundFont file to use and the MIDI file to play, and adding the “-F” option to dump the output to a file:

fluidsynth -F out.wav /usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2 myfile.mid

If you want the result in MP3, you can transcode it using LAME:

lame --preset standard out.wav out.mp3

or in to Ogg Vorbis using oggenc:

oggenc -q 5 out.wav

First you have to generate a *.wav

am i still missing something?

why not using audacity?
There is an import function for midi...

[Linux-Blue]

export is grayed out.

It looks like I've tried Audacity before with no luck.

I imported the song, at least I think I have. But it won't play. I can't save or export it as a .WAV

If you have timidity and lame installed - open a terminal and type:
timidity -Ow -o - input.mid | lame - output.mp3

or goto:

This site works for many file types. http://www.online-convert.com/

thanks. both sites will serve its purpose, one way or another.

It's a slow process, but it's nice to get these in MP3 format. thanks!
