I'm glad you like the idea.  And as I said in my last message, I happen 
to know the guy who wrote "playmidi" for unix.  And I said I might be 
able to get him interested in this project if someone is needed to 
develop a good midi player that will support external sample files.

I wish I could remember what ftp site he keeps playmidi at.  I believe, 
if I'm not wrong, he uploads it to the linux/incoming directory on 
sunsite or one of its incoming directories anyway.  Just do a search for 
a file beginning with "playmidi"  he uploads it to alot of sites.

And now that that one obsticle is removed.  Can we all agree to use midi 
files??? :>
