The ones found on the Player Jukebox are piano only, and I think many or most on the midiplayertools are piano only as well.  I know Sleigh Ride is not.

Send Mark Fontana some money for the PPFDBU software that converts those 750k double density floppies to standard MIDI files that you can store anywhere - preferable iCloud or Dropbox. Get an iOS device - even used. i.e. iPod. Get the free app Piano JukeBox and/or Sweet MIDI player in the app store. Even if you need to purchase an external floppy drive from Yamaha ($150) you have everything you need (except internet radio for Diskavier which you can’t get on that piano anyway).
