What is the difference between MP3 files and Midi Files?

MPEG - MPEG stands for Moving Pictures Experts Group, an organization working under the joint direction of the International Standards Organization (ISO) and the International Electro-Technical Commission (IEC).

MP3 files are audio files that have been compressed so that they can be sent easily over the Internet. An uncompressed music file, is significantly larger. MP3's are typically one-tenth this size, with only a slight loss in quality.

MIDI - MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. It is not actually an audio format, but rather a protocol by which various electronic musical instruments, including sound cards in computers, connect to and interact with each other.

MIDI files, do not contain actual audio. In Midi Files, the music sequence is recorded as a series of numbers. The advantage is that MIDI files are very small, and the sound quality can vary depending on the quality of the device playing the Midi File.
