Preferably freeware. Got a dozen or so Midis I want to be able to put onto my PCDP and I need them in MP3 Format. Any Suggestions?

It's virtually impossible. You'd have to play the midi files through your onboard midi decoder (what is it, BTW? I used to have an AWE32, but I got some new one I can't find info on) and record it manually (system mixer as source).

There's a music notation software called Finale, and I know the latest version can save to WAV, so you could do MIDI > Wav > MP3?

just use winamp. it have an intergrated output plugin that will convert anything to wav. than you can convert the wav to mp3.

or you can download tons of those files converting plugins at winamp.com.

i even use winamp to convert my snes (.spc) music i rip directly from the rom itself, and convert them to mp3. amazingly, the quality came out pretty good for snes games.

Finale is an extremely expensive music composure program. I don't think he'll be able to use that.

Any decent sound card that comes out today should have both a line out (derrr) and a line in (hopefully)

THat's another consideration...

Yep. This is an easy, simple, and effective solution.
