Convert a MIDI file to OGG in the best quality possible.

This will create a very high-quality rendering of a MIDI file, this uses high-quality instruments and can make old MIDI music sound incredible. Especially music from Doom. This is great for Wolfenstein music as well. This is a conversion of one of the music tracks from Wolfenstein 3D.

This is a song from Wolfenstein Spear of Destiny. This is also used in the Stalker mod New Arsenal 6, in Lab X-14. But this shows the quality that you can get from converting a MIDI file this way. LMMS does not seem to be able to export as a MIDI file, but is a very good application for making music on Linux.
