A while back, there was a hint describing how to use iTunes to convert midi files to audio, for burning to CD. Toast Titanuim 7.1 (Universal) now does the same thing.

Burn audio CDs from MIDI files via Toast
My old Toast 4 running under System 7.5 used to do the same... Slower, though.

Really? That's amazing. Are you sure it converted to audio (that could be played back on a regular CD player). If you burn them as MIDI data they would still play on a computer.

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, if you choose create an "Audio CD" within Toast, it does convert *pretty* much any format to .AIFF (at least MP3s and some more)

We should resubmit the hint to include this in the title. I tried mp3, m4a, aiff, and even a quicktime movie (it strips the audio). I wish I'd known. I used to routinely open files in Amadeus to convert them before burning.
iTunes 6.0.3, 4, and 5 no longer can do this.
It doesn't work any more in iTunes 6.0.3, 6.0.4, or 6.0.5 according to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303429, which says:
iTunes: MIDI files cannot be converted in iTunes 6.0.3 - 6.0.5 Attempting to convert a MIDI file to another format in iTunes results in an alert message: Error occurred while converting the file "filename". An unknown error occurred. (-50). Products affected * iTunes 6.0.3 * iTunes 6.0.4 * iTunes 6.0.5 Solution If you have QuickTime Pro, you can export the MIDI files in QuickTime Pro to another audio format (such as WAV or AIFF) using QuickTime Player, and then convert those files in iTunes. |
