Midi Player
jbullfrog:
Well, I found out that I could use Winamp to create mp3s directly from midi files.
This is will work out, even though it is really slow. :'(
Do any of you know what is the equivalent mp3 kb/sec for a midi file?
For example is a midi file equivalent to a 32kbps ABR, stereo mp3 file?
Thanks
Chronon:
I think the quality that MIDI produces depends upon the quality of your patchset. MIDI is not an encoded waveform like mp3 or ogg. It's a sequence of instructions for synthesizing a piece of music. The actual music (waveform) that gets produced depends upon the particular patches that you use to play the music.
So, I don't think you can make a direct comparison like that. You will probably have to play around with it and see what sounds good to you.
I will try out MIDI playback on my e280 shortly. I have not had any issues on my Gigabeat, but have yet to try it with my Sansa.

No problems on my e280.

Thanks Chronon,
As of now, I am converting all my midi files using winamp into mp3 files with a bit rate of 112kbps. A one minute midi file turns out to be roughly 1MB.
Good luck trying to get midi files to work.
;D

Another Sansa user is having problems (though different from yours, it seems) with MIDI here: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=16451.0

That is correct, it should start playing. Are you sure it's not just the volume turned down or something silly?
