Lots of people. What types of songs are you looking for? Are you looking for actual prerecorded live instruments or MIDI instruments such as found in Band In A Box? And most importantly, how much do you want to spend? Smile

Brad - I'm looking for some Santo and Johnny backing tracks like Sleepwalk of course but some lesser hits like Moonlight Serenade , Deep Purple and the like.The Band in the Box sounds fine to me, just something to play along to. Thanks - Rich

Another possibility is playing midi tracks using the free VanBasco Karaoke Player http://www.vanbasco.com/
It has a midi search engine and lets you change tempos, keys and delete specific instruments. I use it exclusively for home practice. Another nice thing if you have a soundcard capable of playing soundfonts you get pretty close to the real instrument sound. Warmest Regards! Eldon
