Behringer has a usb audio interface for about $30. I have two of them. One came with one of my mixers and the other I bought as a backup.
UCA-202 is the number, here is a link to one.

No, I buy quality PCI sound cards, install them in a dedicated CPS and I use lossless audio files only.
I've bought a USB card just for the moment and you are absolutely correct about the hum, because of my location (Bali) it's hard to get certain hardware, I have someone going to Sinapore to try and get a PCMCIA card do you recommend any particular species EG: 24 Bit 192 kHZ. I will then try autolevel control software to try and handle that issue, It doesn't look like wavegain or Mp3gain would work for AVI files, VLC media player is working well for me as I can change aspect ratios to 4.3 defaults and create a playlist of hundreds of AVI's at a time, I'm not sure if Virtual DJ or Traktor can do this? I will then look into using a PC computerised Performance System. I'm not really D J ing the material rather than having it on a set play list however it would be better to have both options.
Most DJ/mixing programs have some sort of gain scanning utility built into them. Even most ripping & encoding programs have some form of gain scanning or normalization effects built into them or available as a plugin. For instance, ripping audio only files to WAV or FLAC, I like using CDex. For recording non-CD media, Adobe AUdition is my tool of choice.
PCMCIA sound cards that are at least 24-bit and have multiple I/O ports will do nicely - there are quite a few to chose from.
I'm not that familiar with Traktor, but I do know that Virtual DJ will do gain and BPM scans on every sort of audio, video and karaoke file. Same thing with Tricerasoft Swift Elite.
The term Computerized Performance System or CPS is a bit more than a buzz-word, it is a widely used term in the industry with the Computer DJ Summit, me in all the books and articles I write, the ADJA, Denon, Tricerasoft, etc.
