i need a media encoder...?
it needs to be able to encode midi files to mp3 and ogg vorbis and would be extremely nice if it supported batches of files instead of 1 by 1 by 1...and it needs to be freeware....no stupid trials

Install winamp Check the 'output' plugin - and change it from directsound to 'mp3 output encoder' You can find it in the settings (ctrl K) 'Configure' the output plugin with the settings you wish - bitrate, stereo, save location, etc. Then load a playlist, and hit play. They'll play very fast, and no sound will come out. That's because they are encoding instead of playing.

hrmm...i don't see the mp3 encoding bit...all i have is wave output and direct output...
you might need to hit the 'get extra plugins' - I know it installed with my recent installation of winamp 5.x (not 5.x lite) - hit the 'get extra plugins' button - or search the winamp site. They have plugins to do ...everything. I think theres a plugin that milks cows in there.

thats the one I've seen before (if its not already installed) methinks.

last update: people are reporting it may only be preinstalled in earlier version - 3.xx

so i can put the midi files i dowloaded in music class onto a portable device (seeing as mp3 players/iPods can't decode midi files) ogg vorbis would also be nice....but anywho, we have a program in music class that supports redering midi to mp3/wav/ogg/etc.... and its called sony acid music studio (i think thats the one...)
Mmm, I wonder how much that cost the school?

yup, you need to get a plug in as frollard desrcibed and then configure the output path, load in a bunch of midi's and then hit play and it encodes them to mp3 ...
If you've got an audio capture device on your machine you should be able to capture a MIDI track while it's playing, but MIDI needs a player, so I doubt you can convert in batches. L

i don't think that would work, i was looking for an actual program/software ( i tried mediacoder but i don't tink it supports midi as i ran them through and i got the 008 error which is unsupported file type&)
