Disklavier

Macs copy "hidden files" along with the music files - they start with a period, I believe. You can see the hidden files with some programming commands on Mac, but it's not simplistic.  You might want to use a PC (sacrilege, I know) if this bugs you too much.  The other alternative is to just copy the "real" files to the permanent memory in your disklavier.

I copied this folder onto a blank USB stick (via a MacBook Pro) and inserted the USB stick into the front panel USB port.  This album would show up as Album No. 2 on the control unit display panel. Album 1 is empty and could not be deleted when I used the DELETE function.  Furthermore, in Album 2 that contains the music files, I noticed that the first 12 "files" or "songs" don't contain any music, just the titles. Nothing would play when I tried to play them.  The real music starts from Song 13 to 24 with the same titles repeated.  In other words, to play Song 1 on the Disklavier, I have to use the directional control pad to go all the way to file 13. If I look into the content of the USB stick from my MacBook pro I only see one folder with 12 MIDI files. This same problem also happens to any other MIDI files from another source such as disklavierworld.
