Creative's Soundblaster Live Mp3 is an excellent choice for a quality sound card. I first bought this card about a year ago, and I've never had a problem with it since. Easy installation, and an easy software setup makes this product hassle-free. As far as the specs go, it runs with the SBLive Platinum, just take off the Live Drive, and you've got MP3+, for the most part. I'm not a dj, nor do I edit sound files. I'm just a music lover, with a passion for listening to mp3's very loudly. This is definately a high-quality card, with a relatively low price, if you know where to look. This card is truly amazing
