Song converting software???

Is there a computer software out there that you can play a song from a CD through it and it'll spit out the chord progression?

Winamp does. You can find it on the net.

With Band in a box you can import mp3's, wav files or midi files and the built in chord wizard will do that.

Yes it does. Download the plugin

Winston,

Please point us in the right direction to this plug-in.

BUT - how accurate are the chord progressions? Do they catch those passing chords and hold-a-chord-bass-walk-down [or up]?

I'm curious, man.

Thanks.

I too, am curious. I have Winamp 5.56 and have found no plug-ins via the winamp site that will convert songs to chord progressions when played thru it.

I would greatly appreciate some guidance too

Thanks

I guessing that it's Easy Chord Plugin that he means

I haven't tried it myself but there is an online version where you can try it.

The plugin is not free, but there is a 15 day trial...

Winston,

That looks very cool. But is it a Winamp Plug-in, or as Anders mentioned, Easy Chord Plug-in?

The image shows Easy Chord Plugin!

I have tried it and I'm not impressed. BIAB is clearly a winner!

I have BIAB also, I cannot tell any difference.

I have BIAB, too. An old version [11.?]. I don't believe I can even import an MP3 or WAVE file with this version. I've tried.
So that would rule out seeing chords processed as a song was moving along.
