Classical midi links
Midi files are somewhere halfway between mp3's and music sheets. As a mechanical rendition of the music they are useful for learning to play a piece of music or just for recognizing it. You can also use them as a strarting point while making music. However, if want to enjoy listening they are definitely inferior.
Another use of midi files is for seeing the score of the music. Professional musicians will have software for this. Amateurs will have to help themselves with a 30-day try-out copy of Sibelius or Noteworthy. There is also a free 16-bit version of Noteworthy, but you can't print from that.
