There are programs, some free (although my crystal ball is cloudy as to
their names), that will attempt to convert a single instrument wav file
(after you have note samples for the program to play with) to a midi file --
and then (with another utility) to an abc file. Other programs will (with
some success) grab chords, but not notes, from a wav file to a midi file.
Ironically, both of these, given the primitive, and usually unappreciated
results, are quite amazing. In general the pat answer is that you can not
go from a wav file to a midi (or abc) file, yet, these attempt to get you
started.
EZ CD Creator (in the form of Spin Doctor), and others, can copy files from
a CD to either a wav file to an mp3 file. It can also convert from mp3 to
wav and from wav to mp3 -- so if you ever find a program that does a good
job converting either wav or mp3 to midi or abc, you will be able to go to
any format.

Does anybody know of a utility or combination of programs that will (by any
convoluted route on any system) solve, or even make progress on automatic
conversion of a wav file (or even better a CD or MP3) to an ABC score?
