How to recognize midi files with iTunes 10.6 ?

iTunes 9.0 recognizes midi files and can it be easily converted into mp3 files.

For the interfacing with iPad2 I must use iTunes 10.6 and it seems this version is not recognizing midi files.

How should I do to manage midi files with iTunes 10.6 ?

Is there in App Store any application with this feature ?

Really it's a pity that a new iTunes version loses fatures instead of gaining !!
