Re: MIDI Play along

Depends on exactly what you want to do. Any composition program (I use Finale PrintMusic) plays the music vi a MIDI interface and can generate a MIDI file. If you want to see and hear your own part and/or the cues from the sheet music you are playing, that's the way to go.

If all you want is a backing track, and it's available on MP3, that will sound way better. If you download, or enter, a complete arrangement as a MIDI file, it will only sound as good as the MIDI player in your computer, recognizable but not pleasant. Making a MIDI file sound good means getting really good samples for the MIDI player to use, and those don't come with your computer. On the other hand, if you're a decent keyboard player - which I certainly am not - it will be worth your while to get a good MIDI keyboard setup and record your own backup.
