    It's *supposed* to record midi files and play them back. That's all it is -- an input device :)

    Midi's are handy for ringtones. A midi-keyboard/violin is the only real way to convert a song into midi [unless you scan in the notes and run a converter over them(which still won't give out any good results)].

    Midi is just data that triggers certain parameters (like note-on, note-off, velocity, panning, etc.). Usually, you use midi to record the data that triggers sounds in a program (like Cubase, Reason, Fruity Loops) and at that stage you'd export it as either compressed (mp3) or uncompressed (wav).

    It's actually quite interesting and amazing the amount of libraries you can use with midi, that will generate real-sounding instruments (and I don't mean from only triggering samples either).
