Thread Name: Tech: YouTube versus MIDI
Subject: RE: Tech: YouTube versus MIDI
I may be wrong about not having another player. I tried looking at Control Panel, but I didn't understand it, really.

But I don't think I want to change anything on my computer. If I want to listen to music, I have fine stereo equipment. I already own so much recorded music that I couldn't possibly use all of it, so I feel no urge to use mp3's, etc. I am content, as Dave Barry said, to stick to my 'round things.' (CD, cassette tapes, LP's)

I use my computer a lot to download and edit music to be played with my friends or in church. Sometimes I do a little composing, too. These activities, which require a working MIDI connection and piano keyboard, are more important to me than the playing of other people's music.

But to tell you the truth, when I play a video such as Harry Secombe singing 'All Things Bright and Beautiful,' the music sounds fine to me, but I have no idea what hardware is doing the playing.

By the way, I found that screen you posted earlier with the slider bars on it, but mine didn't have the column labeled MIDI. (cue theme from Twilight Zone)

But thanks for the offer.
