so which one and why? for classical i prefer midis because they don't take up so much space (as mp3, some of them go more than 20 mb).
 

Midi's are SO CHEEEEESY for real music. I can't appreciate classical midi's, I just laugh. You can't emulate a real orchestra with that crap.

PCM (or MP3, or whatever) for listening, but MIDI is great for toying. And MIDI sounds pretty good if you set it up right with good hardware, Bobtist. :)
