    I don't think that's not how midi works, really

    You'd need to peel back the source song to get at all the instruments, then program them in as a midi file.

    What are you trying to achieve?

    • play the midi through synthesia

    no.

    you're gonna have shit luck unless it's a monophonic patch.

    if it's anything complex you're gonna be fucked.

    best bet with complex material is using melodyne's new version, which can pick out notes from a chord. it has a save to midi function.

    • Was it you who linked 'melodyne' last year? That thing still amazes me - like f-ing magic, so it is.Nairn

    For the most part, you will have trouble finding audio converters for FREE without finding a hacked verison via torrent or similar peer to peer client, however; there are plenty of mp3 to midi converters that you can get a free trial and most run about $25-50 of you want to buy. One that comes to mind is by the same people who make mp3-to-wav. If you google "mp3 to midi" that should be one of the first links.

    Oh and yes, you can't really take most mp3's and convert successfully to midi, like a previous poster said "they are too complex"
