How to Get MIDI Notes for Any Song

Though a Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) song lacks the complexity and sound quality of other sound formats, it offers a small file size and compatibility with MIDI devices. Because of their simplified format, MIDI songs are easier to play than complex songs. If you want to get the MIDI notes for any song in your library, convert the song to the MIDI format, and extrapolate the sheet music with a converter program.
