Unhappy Midi to MP3 Converter

I've been searching versiontracker for a week now looking for a program that will convert my midi's to MP3. Likewise, i only found a command line app that doesn't install.

Does anyone know of one that could convert midi to mp3 or aiff?

a midi is only a file that tells a MIDI instrument what notes to play and for how long. It would be quite a feat to create a rendering engine to create a file of any sound format

I don't see why you'd want to do that, and I am curious to know, but I know one that will work for sure (I just tested it):

http://versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=16382&db=mac

It's called Audio Hijack and it costs 16 bucks. It's rated very highly by versiontracker.com members (4.7/5).

Another program you could try is Audio Recorder. If you're able to set the Sound system preferences pane to internal (under input), other than internal microphone (you'd get a lot of unwanted noise), then you'll be good to go. It can create the files in mp3 and aiff. And... it's free.

I actually have a huge collection of video game songs i wanted to carry on the go.
Beleive it or not i do better on my tests at school when i listen to them. Which is because they don't distract me like the stuff people play at school where even i can't hear the songs on the iPod going.
Thanks for your help though.
I'll help you next time when your pet is stuck in a bank vault.
