Looking for advice...Home Computer Instrument Recording???

This file is MIDI? What is .m3u?

no, the m3u file is a 'stub' file. the m3u extension is just a text file that points to the mp3 file, that streaming media players recognize as a legitimate format. m3u is usually used for multiple song 'playlists' BUT, it also has the nifty advantage of causing the mp3 file to stream rather than the usual wait to download and play.

the 'voices' on the tune are MIDI voices that were accessed through real time hammering on the qwerty keys, recorded in real time in cakewalk.

OK.

I opened the file in my editor and copied the link into a browser.

I have an M-Audio KeyStation 49e (USB MIDI) which I can plug into my Powerbook. The KeyStation also has standard MIDI DIN connectors so I can plug the Roland KR570 digital intelligent piano in and have real piano action to play on and a full 88 keys too.

I need a MIDI/analog module so I can use the keyboards to control the old Roland SH-1000... someday.
