I am looking for a program to convert midi files to
something that a car
CD player can play using a CD rewriter.

Thanks.
 
Well, if you are using your computer soundcard to play the midi files, you
can use Audacity -
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ -
to capture the sound from the mixer. Then you should be able to use
something like Window Media Player to copy to cd. I haven't tried the last
part, but I suspect it will work - or you can find something to send wav to
cd (not sure if wav needs an additional conversion to cd audio. Someone else
here probably can help). Maybe your CD burning software will work to make an
audio cd? Audicity also will save as mp3 if you want to move an mp3 player.
Of course, the quality of the audio will depend on the soundcard that you're
using to convert the midi instructions into actual sound.

Good luck.

You can convert the MIDI to WAV and then burn these WAV-files as an usual
audio-CD. For MIDI-to-WAV conversion, timidity++ is a good tool.

Thanks a lot. SynthFont is one feature packed program.

On a quick look, Timidity++ is smaller (1.6Mb), simpler, and only plays
midi, or changes it into wav.

But it does these very well, and in particular goes about 4 or 5 times real
time speed when converting, which I find a great asset.

That's not to knock synthfont- just depends what you want
