First Post on this Forum - Is there a dearth of quality playable music?

Greetings One and All!


This is my first post on this forum, but I look forward to posting more.


I recently purchased a used DGC1-MK IV built in 2009 about three weeks ago. With this purchase I fulfilled a lesser dream I've had ever since I first heard a disklavier playing "Linus and Lucy" back in 1992 or so. So far I have been very impressed by the instrument despite it's needing a tuning - scheduled to occur sometime next week.


The one thing I have been disappointed with however, is the seemingly lack of contemporary selections available in the smart pianosoft lineup. I was really enamored with the idea of tying the disklavier into my home audio system and having it play along with my Coldplay and Adele CDs but so far, I am tracking I am not in fact able to do this with those particular discs and Yahama's system. At a minimum, I thought I would be able to reenact the first time I heard a disklavier playing the Vince Guaraldi Trio's "Merry Christmas Charlie Brown" only to find out that that particular smart pianosoft selection is nowhere to be had. My hope is that I just don't know what I am doing and perhaps someone here can set me straight such that I am able to maximize the instrument's capabilities.


In short, is my disappointment in the amount of available music shared, or am I just not looking in the right places? Any feedback would be welcomed.


Regards,


JD
