I haven't tried out the AWE64 (I have a SB16), but I highly recommend TiMidity. It is *excellent*! It can also handle (up to 48-voice?) polyphonic music very well, especially if you have a fast machine. On my Cyrix P166+ with 32MB, it plays the MIDI file without interruption unless I'm doing too many CPU- and disk-intensive stuff. ^_^ Sound quality? Excellent! ^_^ The patch files included in the Debian TiMidity packages are quite quite good. <smile> Anthony -- Anthony Fok Tung-Ling [EMAIL PROTECTED] Civil Engineering http://www.ualberta.ca/~foka/ University of Alberta, Canada Keep smiling! *^_^* -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
