Key features
Turn MIDI files into MP3 files
The program converts MIDI to MP3 at high quality. MIDI files are not read directly by most audio converters, music editors or CD burners, and an MP3 is.
Burn MIDI music to CD or copy it to a player
Once the file is an MP3, you can burn it to CD, copy it to an MP3 player, or process it with other tools.
Who it's for
It suits you if you have MIDI music and want to play it somewhere that only accepts MP3, or if you want to feed it into an editor or burner that does not accept MIDI. It does one job, so it is not a general audio editor.
