It's rather neat, and there's one Ella piece in there and a couple Django. The program requires midi files though. I don't suppose any of you have anything else in midi format?

They are quoting $109.55 - I'm not sure how much they charge to ship to the USA.

Shopping around, came across this: http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.ph ... 543&cid=SC
