[LCtalk] Midi Audio Software in USA

[Kyle Olson]

First of, I LOVE THE LANBOX.

One of the best computer based consoles on the market, and I suggest it to 
all my customers.  However, I am a little confused.

Hopefully, Jon Dagget or other USA users can help me out.

I have been looking for a software and small hardware solution to play .MP3 
files when a light cue is triggered.  As this would save a lot of time.  I 
know this can be done using MIDI or UDP? and I have to have a USB to MIDI 
input dongle.  But I am not sure of what inexpensive software I would use 
(winamp) or what brand Dongle is available in the USA.

I am looking for the cheep and dirty way since I don't use it all that often 
but could find it rather helpfull in the theatre industry plus do not need 
to do much post processing or other sound effects.

Thank you,
