MIDI problems

Hello,

I have owned an older CVP series clavinova for about six years now, but I just recently started recording my compositions on to the floppy disk drive provided with the instrument. I am aware that it is in a MIDI format, but I am definitely not a computer person so I haven't figured out if there even is a solution to my problem. When I tried to put the music I had recorded on to a computer through the floppy disk, the computer basically denied the MIDI format. I am guessing that the computer is not a device that supports MIDI. Is there anyway to convert the music I record on the Clavinova to a different format so that I can copy them on to CD's or other things through my computer? Or is there software that I could purchase that could convert the MIDI files from the Clavinova to a different format the most new computers support? It would be a real help if anyone could let me know!

Thanks,

Marian M
