Want to turn your music and MP3 files into MIDI files? Intelliscore Ensemble 8, though not as visually appealing, and lacking the editing and notation facilities found in Neuratron's AudioScore, delivers nearly the same results when outputting a MIDI file. It also does so for less cash. Results vary by material and the instruments involved (as with AudioScore), but it extracts drum tracks, which its rival currently will not. The demo is good for 30 seconds of extraction so you can preview the results.
