i put “All I Want for Christmas is You” through a MIDI converter, and then back through an mp3 converter

I’m driving myself up the wall because I swear I can hear the vocal line but I don’t know how that could be if it was truly converted to MIDI. Unless you can replicate speech sounds entirely with modulated MIDI notes, in which case I’m actually impressed with this tire fire of an MP3.

You can’t actually hear the vocals; your brain recognizes the pattern and fills in the details.

What’s the difference between a MIDI converter and a Fourier transform?
