Shouldn't it be possible to depack the saved music & convert it to midi with an external tool?
But unfortunately song format is described nowhere.

Or the probably simplest way is to convert the song to a  mono PSID file (not RSID) on PC with the extension *.sid. Now you can try to convert it with SID2MIDI.

what do you mean "via midi"  and how would I connect to the MP3 player if its interface is a USB connector?
is there anything that would interface with that or a Gender changer?

Or would I need to connect the Commodore to a PC and hook that into some sort of Media player.
I have DB Power amp(PC software) that converts Wave files etc?
I guess I just dont understand the "attaching to "  MP3 players and the like.
I understand how to save onto a Commodore floppy but from there on Im totally lost and do appreciate your guidance.

You can save your DATA on disk, tape and via Midi. All data is only saved in a raw format. It is not possible to extract the music out of it with any other Software than Prophet64.
To record the Music there is always some Recording device needed.

Well, you could also generate a SID-File which you could record directly from a SID-Player. But thats not the same ;-)

An mp3 is an audio format.
A SID/PSID is a series of instructions for a C64 or C64 emulator to produce particular sounds at particular times. In other words, a C64 music file for use on the C64.
MIDI is a connection standard for musical instruments and devices.

If your intention is to write music on the C64 then transfer the music to your mp3 player, then assuming you own a computer with an audio input you should connect the audio output from the c64 to the audio input of the computer and record the audio using some recording software, such as Audacity (which is free). You can then convert the WAV/AIFF/whatever file to mp3 and transfer that to your mp3 player.
