How to Convert a WMA to a MID File
The WMA (Windows Media Audio) format is Microsoft's proprietary audio file for its Windows Media Player. The WMA is often used for web audio, and it is also the standard format for Microsoft's Zune portable music player (fileinfo.com). MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) files contain data about instrument sections in a recorded piece: the length and volume of each note and each note's placement within a composition.
