Playing with MIDI is also useful in a band setting.  Two of my bands 
end up sharing MIDI files during the composition stage, or just after 
that.  We each get to practice our parts with the any combination of 
MIDI instrument accompaniment before we try to assemble the whole 
thing live.  MIDI allows for looping on a hard section too.  We can 
also rewrite a section and share it with the band.  I've heard of 
other bands doing this over great distances.

Cheers....
