You are correct, what you want to do is not possible with current
technology. MIDI is a way to tell a computer to use this stored sound,
vary it by this note, volume, timber, attack, sustain and a variety of
other variables to produce the sound. The file you have is a single
wave form with all the instruments in it.
It is somewhat analogous to speech recognition. Speech recognition
works to 95%+ accuracy, but that is after training it for one person
for one language. IIRC, in English there are under 200 phonemes that a
speech recognition program has to interpret. In a band, you have maybe
50 instruments, each in slightly different tune, all being played at
once with different degrees of skill. With all the variables involved
with each note and each instrument, you get a tremendous computational
problem, not to mention the problem of separating out the first
trombone from the second.
I am sure there are people working on the solution to this, but I am
guessing that they are running it on clusters like Virginia Techs
System X with 1100 Dual 2.3GHz xServers, not a single Dual G5.

Look on www.pure-mac.com and under audio then under converters theres
probably a program that will do it. What OS are you running?

What is the best way to convert a AIFF file to Midi or can you do
