i'm looking for a program that will open midis, play them with soundfonts, and save the resulting audio to .wav or .mp3. i'm also looking for some good soundfonts, because i know very little about them. any information or advice?

fruityloops, mwell, FL Studio now, does that.

Also here are
50 more soundfont players.
Most of these are VST plugins, so you'll need a host that can use them. I believe the newest version of ACID can use VST. So can any recent version of FruityLoops, as Phil said.

Or, you could just use Fruity loops, which is a soundfont player, and an importer of midi files, and a wav renderer all in one program, without even having to touch no vstz.

Maybe your rich and these things don't matter to you, but:
The Fruity Soundfont Player -->
$35
Any of the 50 Players I linked -->
FREE!
--- also ---
FL Studio -->
$49-149
ACID (Jute already has it) -->
FREE!
SynthFont* -->
FREE!
*Which is also "a sondfont player, an importer of midi files, and a wav renderer all in one program, without even having to touch no vstz"
Even if your pro-piracy, using free / open source software will a) let you have product support b) stop you from futzing around on p2p, and c) increase your penis size (I've found that this is mostly girth, as opposed to length).

Sonar comes with LiveSynth Pro, and is an all-around great piece of software. Very unfree, but very good.

thanks for all the help, guys. i'm using synthfont, which seems to do everything i need it to. i was trying to use fruity loops for all this, but i didn't really like how it was set up for it. synthfont is more like what i was looking for.
does anyone have any soundfont or soundfont site recomendations?
