Hey

This might be an expensive option - but it's a midi and MP3 filer designed specifically for gigs, with a footswitch (which is great for start and stop - especially useful for tracks which just loop and loop, you can stop them when it feels right, gets around the stricture of having to play every song to a specific format).

I used to use a midi filer and midi to generate backing tracks in the 90s (with footswitch) but we moved away from backing track gigs in the late 90s. We've been offered a contract though that we probably will have to take (credit crunch and all that) and we will need to run drum tracks - once the contract confirms this is what I've got my eye on:

I can't seem to find anyone who sells it outside Australia, but they ship internationally. If anyone else knows of anything similar, that's maybe cheaper, I'd be interested in hearing.

Cheers
