Just to confirm what Richard wrote (if you didn't quite believe him!)
It can't be done - you can waste your time if you like, and there's a
couple of progs that claim to do it, but they only work monotonically, if
at all.
With *your* name, you should be used to this sort of answer! ;-)

not tried it but a quick google came up with Amazing Midi...it won't be
perfect but may meet the original posters needs - not tried it yet, but will
give it a whirl when i have more time.
"AmazingMIDI automatically transcribes music, converting WAV files into MIDI
files. It can recognize single-instrument polyphonic music. It's a powerful
tool to help you to transcribe music, to practice musical instruments and to
make MIDI files, and so on.
AmazingMIDI creates an Output File (.mid) from an Input File (.wav) that
contains musical data, and a Tone File (.wav) that consists of monotone
data. AmazingMIDI analyzes the Input File, assuming that every sound in the
file is played with the same tone color as the one in the Tone File. As a
result, even if the music contains several different instruments,
AmazingMIDI writes down all detected notes as a single-instrument music.
The quality of music recognition depends on the tone color of the music.
AmazingMIDI is suitable for analyzing the precise-frequency attenuating
sounds like piano or guitar. The drum sound becomes only noise. "
