And this is the same way you done this?

I used the method described in the forum to install audacity-nonfree (except that for the 32 bit version, there were a couple of libraries I needed to add - libsample<something> and its -devel, which are yum installable from the base).
I was using audacity to normalize a slew of mp3s I'd downloaded so they wouldnt be so dynamically different from others in the same playlist. I've never tried to use it to convert a MIDI file to an MP3, but if it can read and play the MIDI file, it will allow you to export it to WAV, MP3, OGG or <I forget> format.
BTW, the audacity-nonfree is free, but it includes the LAME encoder for MP# exports, which the base audacity did/does _not_ include.
Here are the libraries I installed on my 32-bit work desktop (YMMV):
compat-wxGTK26-2.6.4-2.el5.ccrma libsamplerate-devel-0.1.2-1.2.el5.rf libsamplerate-0.1.2-1.2.el5.rf audacity-nonfree-1.3.2-0.4.beta.lvn6
Good luck.
