Converting midi file to audio CD?
Help! I need to convert a midi file of an instrumental track to a song to a format that I can burn to an audio CD.
Mr. Google tells me more than I understand....
Any easy way to do this in XP? I need this for tomorrow
I find that I have exactly one blank CD-R
So I need to get this right the first time

I think the easiest way would be converting MID file to WAV file using WinAmp and then burn it through any CD writing program.

If I just write the wav file to a CD-R using "Send to CD-Writer" in XP will that be enough for the file to be played on an audio CD player?
(Is wav the data format that audio CDs use?)
Btw, I can't email the file because I need an actual CD for a funeral tomorrow.
ETA: I found this program http://www.bestmidi2mp3.com/midi2cd.html and used it to convert the midi to wav and burn it to the audio cd. Worked great.

OK. I've got it converted to a wav file. But Windows Media Player is telling me that it can't burn the file to an audio cd because it can't determine the length of the file.
