MP3 MIDI

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. MIDI is not an audio format (does not contain actual audio), MIDI is rather a protocol by which various electronic musical instruments, including sound cards, connect to and interact with each other. The music is recorded as a series of numbers. The advantage of MIDI is that the files are extremely small, therefore excellent for use in Web pages and other applications. The disadvantages to MIDI are:

1. is only compatible with instruments, not vocals. You may incorporate a proprietary format that can combine MIDI with digital audio, but if you record such files with a particular format, you will have to play the songs back using compatible components from the same company.

2. The sound quality depends solely on the output device (i.e. sound card or synthesizer).
