what is the easiest (and cheapest) MIDI-to-PC interface available?
I'd like to interface my MIDI keyboard to a PC, but have no idea how. What would be the easiest way to hook them together? Would I need any special software? If so, could I get a rundown on the price and functionality of some of the most popular ones?
thank you.

Have a look at: USB MIDI Cable Converter PC $7.95 + shipping (from Amazon.com)
http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Converter-Music-Keyboard-Window/dp/B0017H4EBG
According to the product information page, it works with Windows Vista/XP and Mac OS X.
Other features:
- Turn your PC into a music studio by connecting a music keyboard to your computer with the USB MIDI cable
- Easy to install with built-in driver; USB powered, no AC adapter needed
- 1 in + 1 out MIDI interface; 16 MIDI input channels & 16 MIDI output channel
The USB interface is good as newer computers or laptops might not have soundcard game port (port where MIDI usually connects to PC).
