    Depends what you want to do with them

    Midi are great as backing as long as they are decent versions

    But MP3's are better for full tunes with vocals etc

    Totally agree with you fredal. I use Midi's a lot for backing as there are only a couple of us in the band atm.

    My band use MIDI files for backing tracks when doing live gigs. Whats good about that is that we can simply adress a click track to the drummer. If we shuld do the same thing with MP3 we would have to play the backing tracks in mono, and the click to the other channel. But if i did'nt have to care about the click i would go with the MP3-format because it''s more convenient without all the synths we have to setup each gig.

    I think everyone here agrees that MIDI'd are good for background music/backing and are ALOT easier to download.

    MP3's are almost exactly the same as the tracks on an audio CD, but just a little less in quality....though you can't tell. If you have a 28.8k modem they will take from 40min-1hr to download one track.

    If ur looking for a quick karoke, instrumental type file then go with MIDI.....otherwise if u want a proper song form an album, then MP3 is ur type of file.

    Midi's I only use for Web Design. Otherwise it's MP3 all the way... I love my music collection. Well I sometimes use midi's as a place to start for creating ring tones as well. Since I still use the ancient Noteworthy which will put it in actual score sheets for me to read.

    Midi files sound almost as good as MP3's to me if you make sure you have a high quality sound card with sound fonts or other type of hardware type soundbank...however when it comes to vocals, midi's just won't cut the cake unless it's a part of your sound bank but then again, that just makes mp3's more efficient seeing that your soundbank will occupy just as much space.
