This is a step-by-step tutorial for conversion from an original music format, to an MP3 render for easier listening.

You will generally need Audacity for conversion from WAV to MP3.

MIDI - Open Audacity and open your MIDI in Windows Media Player, set Audacity to record from your output, and while recording, play the midi!

S3XMODIT/k - If you use OpenMPT for tracking, you can simply export as lossy. However, most trackers only export to WAV.
Use Audacity to convert to MP3.
