Convert Midi to MP3 in Ubuntu

Posted by rolf on Saturday, 13 February 2016

To convert a Midi File to Mp3 in Ubuntu, the easiest method I found (on ubuntuforums) uses the power of timidity:

 

sudo apt-get install timidity

to convert to mp3 either use ffmpeg

timidity My_midi_file.mid -Ow -o - | ffmpeg -i - -acodec libmp3lame -ab 64k my_converted_midi.mp3

or use lame

timidity my_midi_file.mid -Ow -o - | lame - -b 64 my_converted_midi.mp3
