#43 Midi Marvelous

What a toy! a major hobby right there, I can't help but wonder though where you stand with copyright.The program will only last for 30 days unless I pay up. I downloaded a midi version of Rainy night in Georgia and couldn't bear to alter it permanently. There is such a big range of midi music available from Google when I searched for a rainy night in Georgia a whole selection of blues came down with it. I sighed and immediately saved the entire site so I can play them while I work. I noticed that audacity was available from the same site .
The midinotate player program can locate midi files on the Internet and convert them to sheet music. It uses its own browser and as soon as you locate a midi file and down load it it unzips it and sets it in is browser you use the play buttons etc similar to most audio programs. I can see how this could be good for budding musicians and composers but it is s bit out of the requirements of a standard public library.Perhaps it is somewhere to point people toward however the program is an exe file, so I cannot see it getting past most IT restrictions.
