Re: [disklavier] Smart PianoSoft

It’s a DK IV — it has a CD and floppy drive.

The data I purchased is sitting on my computer (Mac, PC, doesn’t matter — I can move it around)

The issue is how do I get the data onto my piano? I’d assume I could either put them on a USB stick (good) or burn a CD (not as good but doable).  But I can’t do either. The option is either make a floppy out of it to make it importable to the piano… or find some way to directly import them via connecting to the piano and putting the files in the right place (assuming there’s no “psx extraction/installation” that needs to take place.
