Bob, Why don't you just use the MIDI files on your laptop? With MIDI unlike mp3 you can change the tempo and transpose the key in a flash. If your playing with a vocalist this is indispensable. And if your backing tracks are created with your MMA program then MIDI becomes another way of showing off your talent. Most people don't like going to a concert to see a musician performing with an ipod, MIDI is much more live than mp3. -- Jeff Sandys bvdp wrote: > > I've got a little gig at the end of the month for which I'll be using > backing tracks.
