I agree 100%! 4 years ago I could by an extremely good soundcard for 110Euro,
and even better, it had a built-in motherboard!! ok ok, I'm talking about those
Abit NF7S (or something like that) motherboards with SoundStorm onboard sound.
Latencies of less than 10ms, without using ASIO. Even my 300Euro Creative X-Fi
Platinum (or whatever) doesn't come close to that
too bad they don't make those soundchips anymore

Don't be too sure of that, there are a couple free and good-sounding
midi-players out there... can't remember the name for sure, but "midig" pops
into my head...
I think it's this:

If you want to reproduce them in the same way, just play the mp3 :) I would much
rather run it through something like Reason :)
