Thanks Scott... I would have just asked you directly but I didn't know if you had upgraded your unit yet or not.

It sounds like you are downplaying the audio capability of the MPP (so does Freehand apparently) but what you said is pretty cool if I can get more detail:

1. So can you call up sheet music and the accompaniment MP3/midi file at the same time or does each require it's own directory?

2. MIDI playback? So they have incorporated a GM softsynth in v4? Or is it just a basic tone for score previewing?

3. Could you try putting a minijack into the audio output and seeing if it clicks once or twice? You might look into the audio jack with a flashlight and see if there are two positive jack contacts or just one. I have not been able to get much out of Freehand at all via email... I've asked the stereo jack question repeatedly and they can't or won't answer it, which is why I asked my question here knowing there was several MPP users on this forum now.
