Audio to MIDI conversion, which includes mp3 to MIDI, is effectively
limited to music which uses only one instrument, a strongly tonal
instrument (no percussion -- drums etc.), and ideally only one note
playing at a time. Pitch recognition at best only gets the right
notes. It won't recognize the instrument, nor make a proper
arrangement.

Check out the alt.music.midi FAQ,
http://home.sc.rr.com/cosmogony/ammfaq.html

It has links and info about audio to MIDI recognition applications.

If you want to convert a typical pop tune with a mix of instruments,
percussion, vocals, and effects, you're out of luck. You'll need real
musicians to do that job.

Keep in mind that a MIDI file is effectively a new cover arrangement
and performance of a song, not just another way to record the audio.

Some of these wav to midi convertors also require you to slow down the song.

To do this with pre-recorded music, there is a tool that you get when you buy
band in a box from www.pgmusic.com that does a good job, and does not shift the
pitch.
