Thanx a bunch to all who put in their thoughts regarding this topic of
mine which is some what of interesting indeed and I came to this conclusion
that in orderfor me to convert any mp3 to a midi format will be costly not
to mention the head ache it might give me and I was well aware of that
other thinggy of midi being converting to mp3 files though none the less,
I want to thank everyone who shared their time at this.. OH yeah, one more
thinggy before I sign of, some of you must know some cool midi sites
where I could download midi files easily? Thanx again..
Best wishes
Azar
