<para>How do I create audio CDs from my MIDI files?</para>
</question>
<answer><para>To create audio CDs from MIDI files, first
install <filename role="package">audio/timidity++</filename>
from ports then install manually the GUS patches set by Eric
A. Welsh, available at <ulink
url="http://www.stardate.bc.ca/eawpatches/html/default.htm"></ulink>.
After timidity++ has been installed properly, midi files may
be converted to wav's with the following command
line:</para>
<screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>timidity -Ow -s 44100 -o /tmp/juke/01.wav 01.mid</userinput></screen>
<para>The wav files can then be converted to other formats
or burned onto audio CDs, as described in the FreeBSD
Handbook.</para>
