midi > mp3?

[sash1]

I have about 300 midis that I want to convert to MP3's to put onto my MuVo. Any programs that will do this?

Thanks,

Maybe CoolEdit Pro...

But you realize that there will be a 20x+ size increase, right?

You will probably find something on Shareware Music Machine

I don't think you can because MIDI files are synthesized - they are not digital. They are very small in terms of file size. In order to play them, you must have a synthesizer or synth chips in an output device such as a sound card.

Not true. You can easily do CPU-based (software) MIDI synthesis. In fact, most older sound cards used to do that. Not many had hardware midi.
