Hi all,
Does anyone here know of a program that will allow mass conversion of abc to midi (instead of having to save each one individually which will take me years).
Thanks

If I understand correctly, you have loads of abc-files that you want to convert in one go? Converting all tunes in one file is trivial (see Christopher's reply).
In Linux you can do the following:
find . -type f -name "*.abc" -exec abc2midi {} \;
This command finds all abc tune files in the current directory (recursively) and executes abc2midi on each file. The result will be *loads* of MIDI files.
But I suppose you have a Windows box. I don't have a Windows command line at hand to test it, but the following should get you going...
FOR /R [directory] %A IN (*.ABC) DO CALL abc2midi %A
This will work on NT/2000/XP systems. If you have Windows 9x, drop "/R [directory]" from the command. But then only files in the current directory will be processed. If you put this line into a batch file, use %%A instead of %A.
If it doesn't work, try "help for" of "for /?" on a command line to get more information about the for command.
Good luck.
