Can a midi file be played from a CD, or can they be converted to a wma , wav
file or a type that can be played?
You can only really record the playback of your sound card (using a
looped cable from Line Out to Line In) for MIDI - it's a series of
notes or instructions to play notes, rather than an actual sound wave
stored as digital data (like WAV and ~advisedly~ WMA formats are)
Typically I'd use software like Audacity for recording the sound
produced by the sound card - whlie I might play the MIDI file back
using Quicktime or Media player to produce the actual sound output.
You can download Audacity from http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
A stereo cable to go from socket to socket would probably be no more
than a couple of dollars - try Frys or Circuit City (or, Maplin or RS
in the UK)
