Does anyone know how to burn Midi Files to an Audio CD to play in a regular CD player
 
No, because you can't - MIDI files are not audio files, just streams of digital code. If you want to write the sound information to a CD you have to record the audio siganl digitally first - if you're just using your PC midi sounds, this is easy to do, not so easy if you're using external instrument(s).

Need more? Just ask.

tjm: In essence, all of my CDs have been made this way. But MIDI files aren't sounds- they're instructions for a synthesizer on what sounds to make.
Cakey- for me it's the other way around. External synth sounds are far easier to record to my soundcard than internal MIDI sounds. Just plug the MIDI OUT from the PC into the external synth MIDI IN and the line output of the synth to the line in of the soundcard. Hit RECORD on the audio recorder, then hit PLAY on the MIDI playback program.
But the main reason is that I don't have an internal synth! That makes it difficult.. :)
