Beware -- it deletes the midi files after conversion. #!/bin/bash for file in *.mid; do WAVFILE=$(basename $file mid)wav OGGFILE=$(basename $file mid)ogg timidity $file -Ow -o $WAVFILE rm $file ffmpeg -i $WAVFILE -acodec vorbis $OGGFILE rm $WAVFILE done I'm sure there are better ways of doing it. Also, note that it uses ffmpeg. That has been replaced in Debian with something else. ffmpeg is still available in the 3rd-party deb-multimedia repo, but I think you might as well use oggenc instead of ffmpeg anyway. -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Good time of the day, Rob. Big thanks for Your time and answer! You wrote: You can use timidity for midi files. I wrote this a while back to convert a bunch of midi files to ogg. Beware -- it deletes the midi files after conversion. #!/bin/bash for file in *.mid; do WAVFILE=$(basename $file mid)wav OGGFILE=$(basename $file mid)ogg timidity $file -Ow -o $WAVFILE rm $file ffmpeg -i $WAVFILE -acodec vorbis $OGGFILE rm $WAVFILE done I'm sure there are better ways of doing it. Also, note that it uses ffmpeg. That has been replaced in Debian with something else. ffmpeg is still available in the 3rd-party deb-multimedia repo, but I think you might as well use oggenc instead of ffmpeg anyway. No problem, I will solve that convertion myself. I thought I could play MIDI w/ mplayer2 - I did install/remove a lot of software - thinking it will help me w/ some sound fonts, etc. I too use timidity for playing MIDI.
