Well, I paid money for mine and ordered it in the mail. My brother uses Cakewalk, which I think is shareware. And there's that Basic program around - still? - somewhre probably free.
Music time is the simple version of something called Encore, and there's another set of music programs around called, Symphony? something like that. Tell you what, Mick, I'll start a thread and ask what people here use.
Blessings,
Barbara
