Hey, what about Music Composer? It's much better than synthLAB for doing
MIDI playback.
Just a note. Music Composer* does use the MIDIsynth tool to play the music,
and to do some editing. MIDIsynth does a lot that synthLAB doesn't use. It was
always my impression the that synthLAB was never finished.

014- Would FExt.NDA let you play thru Synthinit if you
placed Synthinit in the System.Setup folder?
OK, I guess it's shameless plug time :) FExtNDA will allow you to use
SynthInit from any desktop program. Place SynthInit in your System.Setup folder,
and FExtNDA in your Desk.Accs folder (of course :). Then, in FExtNDA's
preferences, check 'Send finderSaysIdle'. If you want to be able to use
keypresses to change songs, also check 'Send finderSaysKeyHit'. For more useful
information on using the two together, check the docs in FExtNDA.
PS: SynthInit isn't the only Finder Extension that will work: IR, DeskTracker,
FinderView, FinderSounder, TeacherReader, EGOed, etc. etc. etc. all work.

015- Can I play .WAV files on my GS?
Yes. Download and check out 'Universal Sound Edit'. It's a GS sound editor
that handles virtually every type of sound format from just about all computer
platforms.
You can read the documentation file and download the program archive,
USE.SHK, from Ground's 1WSW collection:
http://www.apple2.org.za/mirrors/ground.icaen.uiowa.edu/Collections/1WSW/
in the GS.WorldView/GS.AUDIOWARES/ folder.
Other good IIgs sound editors are Sound Shop and Sound Studio.
You can get all three editors with docs in SoundGS_SoundEditors.zip from GS
WorldView at http://apple2.org.za/gswv/a2zine/Utils/ .
