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.
