How far do you want this converter to go? Do you want it to create actual playable steps? That's probably a bad idea, because you won't like the product.

Do you want it to create a template for you to make stepmania files? Great, but why re-write the serviceable editor already built in?

Does stepmania even support midi? I think your first step might just be to convert the midi to mp3.

Start with reading a .sm file, go read a guide that covers a couple of basics on stepping to see what all the different values are for. Probably a big hurdle would be figuring out BPMs. Or at least doing it automagically.
