Use dBpoweramp (http://www.dbpoweramp.com/) to convert the music into OGG format. (You need the OGG codec from the "Codec Central" page installed.)

Can you please give me a link to the codec I need? I can't find it...

Hilight the song(s) you need to convert, right-click, and click on "Convert to." Then, go to "converting to" and go to "ogg vorbis," which should be grey. Click on it and it will tell you that you need to download such and such, click "OK" and then a window will pop up. Click on the download, click "Run" and follow the steps on screen afterwards.

Does this work for MIDI as well?
I've had trouble with midis in the past.

Are ther any good way of converting midi to OGG without loss of quality?

dBpoweramp can convert MIDI to OGG. I don't know exactly what you mean by "loss of quality" in this context; MIDI doesn't actually contain any audio, so there's no quality to be lost. Any audio in an audio file created from a MIDI file is created when the audio file is created, so there's no re-encoding that could lose any sound quality, if that's what you mean.

There's a freeware program called Audacity that lets you do that.

Audacity can only convert one file at a time, though.
