If you upload an audio file, there is too much going on, it is too "busy" to print out music

2nd
It would be ILLEGAL since you don’t own the copyrights to the music

3rd
If someone spent all that money and time developing it, shouldn’t they "own" the rights to that software, which means you would have to "PAY" for it?

do YOU work of for free?
why not, you expect everyone ELSE to?

what do you have that I ca steal?

It will need tweaking - nothing is perfect, and you are at the mercy of whoever wrote that MIDI file. But at this time, there are NO programs that will convert WAV, mp3, or other digital (or of course analog) music files to notation. There are quite a few free downloads that SAY they do - but they do not. It is my business to know - I have a MM in Music Theory, wrote my MM thesis in digital music and computer-assisted music notation programs, and my adult son i now finishing HIS MM in Digital Music. There are pitch-to-MIDI converters, wherein you can sing or play a one-line instrument into a mike, and they will notate it - but these are strictly monophonic - and not all that accurate, either. So - what you have asked for is a great idea - it just does not exist YET. And FREE?????? No chance. Can you download piano music for many selections for free? Sure. Popular songs? No - they are copyrighted - you can download them, but they are going to cost you. Added - repaired some minor typos. If file is available in MIDI or any other format, the onus is on YOU to determine if is public domain or copyrighted. If you go to a site where that issue is addressed on the home page (giving you warning about the rights in various countries, for example) then it is up to you to abide by what is legal in your country. Some sites will block you from illegal download. However, you will find many thousands of things at your disposal, all legal and free.<br><b>References : </b><br> At this point in technology, you can download a MIDI file of music, and open it in Finale, Sibelius, or a similar program, and it will notate it for you .
