MP3 to MIDI

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to take a piano recorded to mp3 and convert it to MIDI. I did try, but it said that I couldn’t do it. All I need to know is if there is a way around this, and if so, how.

There’s a program called “AudioScore” that claims to be able to convert audio into MIDI, but it has a price tag of around $200.

The problem is that to create MIDI from audio, each note has to be identified by pitch and duration, as if you were writing a musical score. “MIDI” is NOT “sound”.

I was wondering if there was a way to take a piano recorded to mp3 and convert it to MIDI.

Why do you need that? What’s the job?
