How to Change From MIDI to MP3
MIDI files, with the file extension ".mid," are standard music formats for the electronic music industry. While many free players can play and convert MP3s, they are generally not suited for MIDI file conversion. However, using two programs: iTunes and QuickTime Player (free for download), one can successfully convert MIDI files by first converting MIDI to AIFF in QuickTime and then converting AIFF to MP3 in iTunes. Please note that audio conversions may result in loss of audio quality.
