Importing Files

I have been wanting to import some of the songs I have on my computer but they are in mp3. Is there any way I can import mp3s or does anyone know of any programs I can get that changes mp3s to midis?

Oh noooooooo.... after eating Tokyo, this monster wouldn't die.

Folks ... It won't happen. Check out the numerous existing threads on the forum, for many laborious explanations of why not.

... but if you are determined, there are some utilities that can help a knowledgable musician discern which notes are being played, so that the MIDI can be created manually. These utilities are like time-recorder spectrograms. One such program, recently relesed and free, is at:

This is the equivalent of singing a tune that you know, then trying piano keys until you hit the ones at proper pitch, then writing down the notes manually.

... and, might I add, you would probably be better off plunking the piano than using any of the programs.

Yeah, I checked out ScoreExtractor.  You would be better off plunking the piano, or just learning to use your "inner ear."
