Okay, I see where you're coming from now. In that case I think something like an X1600pro is perhaps a wee bit overkill. As for MediaShout and SongShow Plus, I'd definitely recommend you investigate a couple of Open Source alternatives - they do exist (I think OpenSong was one of them). Seriously. For all the features that MediaShout has - and are never actually used, I think you'd be better placed to forge ahead with an Open Source solution. A gfx card for half the price would easily do what you're after.
