I didn't want to hijack Don's post, but it gave me an idea to ask about what others might actually be using their USB ports for: I'll start this off with the limited usb music stuff that I have:

UA-4fx Sound Module (needed for Ketron SD2)

Alesis Q25 midi controller keyboard

Akai EWI USB wind controller (Works with Real Band, but I can't seem to hear my self playing while recording.)

ASUS Xonar U3 Mobile Headphone Amp Soundcard I use this with the netbook because it's soundcard/(or maybe onboard speakers) suck. However the output quality and gain are really improved with this little gadget. Just plug in the 1/8th jack. It's just slightly wider than a flashdrive.

Hope y'all will share with us. Thanks.
