Hi all,

Does anyone have any advice on how to convert music from PrintMusic 
to a
format
that can be made into a CD-R to be played on a regular CD player.
Later this week, when MakeMusic! announces the availability of 
Finale 2004,
upgrade.  According to announcements, FIN2k4 will have the ability 
to write
.aiff
files directly.  Absent this, you'll have to save your files as 
~.MID, and run
them
through a MID to ~.aiff converter.

I, too, am on Windows.

I think Tom is on Windows, Noel, as he talks about wav and mp3 files. 
 But why
would you need to make a .MID file?  Can't you simply make a 
recording of the
Finale playback?
My understanding (possibly inaccurate, since I don't have details of 
the internals
of Finale) is that playback is through MIDI facilities, anyway, and 
since in my
system, it is physically a challenge to run a patch cord between the 
line out and
line in sockets on the sound card, this is something I don't think I 
would  have
considered doing.
But a patch cord is unnecessary!  Just go into the Volume control 
(usually by double-clicking the speaker icon in the system tray), go to 
the Recording properties (can't remember the specific menus/commands 
right now; I'm on a Mac) and choose "Synth" or "MIDI" or whatever your 
soundcard calls its synthesizer to be the recording channel.  Then just 
start up a sound recording program, hit "play" on Finale and "record" 
on the other, and sound is recorded internally without need of a 
physical cable.

Well, you'd probably hit "record" before "play" so that you don't lose 
the first bit of playback in your recording ;)... but in any case it's 
pretty easy to set up.
