MIDI

Midi stands for Musical Instrument Design Interface.  It is perhaps most like a player piano than a recorded song in that on playback, midi will tell what notes to play and what instruments but does actually record the sound.

Midi can also be viewed as a software standard - such that certain computer numbers indicate what value a note should be, when it should turn on and turn off.  Other midi terms tell in numbers what musical instrument sound should play with which notes.  Since of course it is hard for humans to deal with computer numbers, there are many software programs which help musicians record songs in midi and play them back.  There is a midi standard also for what instrument numbers should pertain to what instrument sounds.  Some, but not all midi instruments and electronics, conforms to that standard.
