Gene, I inadvertently opened a thread on a similar subject and I do have some comments. Re your two requests:

(1) No experience, but at the price tag asked it would have to be very good. I have since found some shareware at ZDNET. At a friend's suggestion the key search word is "vinyl" and there looks to a range of quality and price.

(2) Re the chord finder software - I tried the earlier version of this program about 2 years ago, but not very extensively. Of concern to me was that it failed to recognise the audio output of the rhythm track of a Midi file, to the level of satisfaction that I was seeking. I reckon the computer's ear SHOULD be better than mine, but to date I am not convinced. It you would like a copy of the earlier software drop me a line at johninbrisbane@hotbot.com I see they no longer provide a demo product, and I couldn't see the old one still being touted.

Regards
John
