FS: Plug & Play Computer With 25000 MIDI Files
By Spencer Chase

I have recently put together inexpensive windows computers for a couple
of computer-naive friends. The project is growing. I currently have
about 20,000 MIDI files -- not your average crap from the Internet --
a variety of files but few of them duds.

I am working on adding another 6000 made by A2m [Audio-to-MIDI
conversion] from my collection of about 6000 piano solo audio files.
When completed the little computer will have in excess of 25000 files.

I am wondering of the feasibility of selling these computers, ready to
plug and play. I would like to get an idea as to what people might be
willing to pay. The computer with USB interface and a few odds and ends
will cost me about $300.

I would hope to make at least $500 profit per computer for my effort
in collecting and converting, etc., all the files.

Does this seem feasible? $800 for about 25000 good files to play on
your Pianodisc, Pianomation, Disklavier, LX Spirio, etc.
