I have been using MIDI files generated in Finale for eleven years. Finale is one of the most popular music notation progrmas. Notes can be input through a MIDI keyboard or other instrument. Since MIDI is the language that Finale uses to communicate data to and from the instrument, it makes sense that Finale would save audio files as MIDI. However, MIDI files are becoming less useful, and Finale still offers only this format for output. I am a piano teacher, who recently has begun to specialize in autistic students, and prior to that was specializing in teaching adults to play by ear. I also am beginning to teach live online lessons through the use of a webcam. Whatever the medium for the actual lesssons, I find that creating customized accompaniment tracks and demo recordings for the students is very helpful. One of the best ways to develop rhythm is to play along with someone (or something) -- preferably an experience musician, but a recording will do. I use audio clips for the students to play along with, or to hear how it's "supposed" to be played. Until a few years ago using MIDI was fine and I could put files on disk for students or email them. With MP3 becoming more commonplace, some computers do not have the capacity to handle a MIDI file. In addition, converting to MP3 allows my students to play these sample/accompaniment files through their Ipods or whatever device they want, whereas MIDI is mostly obsolete and can only be played (maybe?) through the PC. Still, it is convenient to create songs in Finale and then convert them to MIDI since I can change the tempo, key or instrumentation without redoing the whole song. This is especially true since I have the music notated already as part of my books of arrangements that I make available to my students. The Direct MIDI to MP3 Converter software is easy to use, and the MP3 files it outputs sound quite good. In fact, the MP3s seem to sound BETTER than the original MIDI files. The feature "save to same directory as original" is very convenient. Also very useful and convenient is the converter's ability to transpose (change key) from the original MIDI file, and to change the tempo. These are exactly the kinds of modifications I make all the time to suit individual students. I am very thankful that the program does this. You can also bump up the volume, which I like because Finale's MIDI file output tends to come out with far too low or a recording level.
Another interesting use for the converter is taking MIDI files acquired off
the internet, particularly classical selections, and converting them so they
can be shared more easily, or even played on external devices. I am pleased
to have found this product. The controls are easy to use, and I intend to
upgrade to the full registered copy soon.

"Having just bought a new cell phone which had MP3 capabilities, I was now faced with how to convert my existing MIDI collection to MP3. I went searching for a trial version of some "no fuss, full working" software, and my first test would be against a few harpsicord collections. A Google search brought me to your site and after further research, decided to give it a whirl. Your Direct MIDI to MP3 Converter worked like a charm (and so did the cell phone). Both the install, ease of use, and full working trial were very welcome. I am now happily look forward to converting more of my MIDI collection to listen on my MP3 player." Gene
