USB Help

My MIDI controllor (keyboard) plugs in to the joystick socket on my soundcard...but this soundcard dosen't have one and my old one is broke so I can't hook it up. Isn't there a USB cable that that fix's on to the keyboard cable which then plugs into the USB port? I'm sure I saw one in PC World ages ago.

    I have a Logitech Joypad that plug into the joystick port BUT also comes with a USB converter.

    But I'm sure it's way cheaper and better to buy a 2nd soundcard - you can get them for less then £10, I have 2 sound cards in my PC and they work really well, just make sure they are totally different makes and models so they don't conflict.

    I thought I saw one in PC World but it was 80 quid. Then again it might of been for something else.
