MP3's are all well and good, but if you have a composing program like Sibelius, Finale, Cakewalk...all you need is to find a midi of your favorite piece or song and instantly you've got tabs, or a score, or parts, if that's what you're looking for. There are even free programs that let you do that. Without midi, it would take hours picking away with a CD to figure out a part, and that's hardly even possible with orchestral music. I also compose with midi, and it saves me so much time, especially since I challenge any non-pianist to pick out 4 or 8 moving parts on a piano at one time.
