Duke had a good mix of music.  I also specifically mentioned techno because 
high-energy music lends itself so well to action games.  It's hard to get 
good sounding rock/metal out of a GM card, so alternative styles might thin 
that out.  :)
You had mentioned before that you were still looking for a music engine for 
use with DNF (I guess Jim Dose's has breathed its last) and I was wondering 
if any of the music, if it uses MIDI at all, would support GS.  You had 
mentioned before that you were restricted to GM with the current engine...
Also, is any special hardware needed to use downloadable sample type music?  
You compared that to the way a GUS works which is pretty different from most 
hardware out there.
