Burning MIDI

dburn · 2nd January 2005, 21:37

This may be a stupid question, but technologically challenges rednecks like me we have to ask. I recently downloaded a bunch of Karaoke songs for my daugter's new machine and they are MIDI format. I tried to burn them to CD and get a message that the burner cannot recognise the codec that created it. Windows also shuts me down by saying that winamp has encountered a problem and needs to close. I scanned the files with norton and found nothing. Now I am at a loss......Any I deas from anyone?
thannk you

Best thing is to convert them to WAV (Winamp can do that) and use Nero to burn them as an audio CD>

Yea, i had the same thing once. I had to convert to wave using the diskwriter plugin, and then just burn the wav files. 'twas quite a pain in the ass. If you need to know how to use the diskwriter plugin to convert to wave, just ask.

Good luck
