The research field trying to tackle this is called "music information retrieval", that may help with your search.. I think they have made some headway but it involves quite a few challenges - auditory scene analysis, source separation, pitch labelling etc.

I had not. Thanks a million for that, that does look promising!
There are some tools that I could find but so far none has come up with good conversion from FLAC or MP3.
I'm mainly interested in classical music and that kind of complicates things. As the number of voices in your audio increase, it gets that much harder to export it to MIDI. I've been thinking about emphasising the melody line and exporting that to MIDI but so far nothing :P
Perhaps a different approach would work better.
But thanks a lot for the help :)
