Answer 1

FluidSynth + FFmpeg

An alternative to timidity:

fluidsynth -a alsa -T raw -F - /usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2 MIDI_sample.mid |
  ffmpeg -f s32le -i - MIDI_sample.mp3

Tested on Ubuntu 20.04, FluidSynth 2.1.1-2, and this MIDI file: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MIDI_sample.mid

Answer 2

Guessing you're on a linux machine... The simplest way is to play it with timidity and pipe the output ffmpeg:

timidity song.mid -Ow -o - | ffmpeg -i - -acodec libmp3lame -ab 64k song.mp3

Answer 3

Audacity is an open-source audio converter.

Answer 4

If you're using Linux, use avconv instead of ffmpeg because ffmpeg is being deprecated:

timidity input.midi -Ow -o - | avconv -i - -acodec libmp3lame -b 64k output.mp3

Or lame:

timidity -Ow -o - input.midi | lame - output.mp3

Answer 5

I ran into a similar issue with MIDI.js not working in a mobile browser. It turned out that I had included the ogg files but was missing the mp3s (for some reason the MIDI.js only provides ogg versions of synth_drum).
