WAV/MP3 to MIDI
 

I know wav/mp3 to midi conveters pretty much suck but what's a decent one? Link to a free one or cracked one would be great. Thanks in advanced!

...it doesn't work that way.
That is, there is no program that will 'transcribe' an MP3 (or comparable audio file) into a MIDI.

There are programs that do that, you can find a bunch of them searching on Google.

The problem with many of them is that the song must be fairly simple with a small number of distinguishable instruments.

They suck because Midis suck. I can't concieve a reason to make that conversion.

Theoretically, if you had the MIDI, you could get some form of the sheet music. (At least, that's what I could see.)

Additionally, people are still using cell phones that will only accept MIDI (or another transcribed format) for ringtones.

And you could fit like a billion MIDIs on a CD.

(Granted, shitty.)

The top result http://www.pluto.dti.ne.jp/~araki/amazingmidi/ seems to be what you are after. I tried another wav to midi program ages ago (cant remember the name of it though), the results are patchy but I suppose you'll be able to pick bits out.

Snowknight you're right you can view musical score from a midi file, one such program that allows you to do so is noteworthy composer.

Thanks, Sausageboots!

Woah! This reminds me of this program I once had where you could get real life sheet music that you'd scan onto the computer and it would turn THAT into a .midi
Ingenious!
