New Enspire owner with media issues

2019-08-03 by kassey22000@...

For Carol, Spencer, Mark, Ian, Kevin and other stalwarts of this great resource:


Having been a Disklavier fan for over 10 years, I realized that moving from an DC5 MKIIxg (with the 850 upgrade) to an Enspire piano might cause some potential conversion issues with Pianosoft media (smart pianosoft in particular). This is because Yamaha wants only Stereo output on their new Disklavier pianos. Yet I never thought that Yamaha would make the decision to stop supporting their own native file format (.FIL) on these pianos (they support Mid, Wav, Mp3). So now I have a wonderful new DC6X Enspire Pro that can’t play hundreds of .FIL songs purchased over 10 years from yamahamusicsoft and other sites/stores :-/

Yamaha reps in LA have no current solution.

I tried the utility that Carol has on her website (ESEQ2MID) but alas it only converts one .fil file to .mid at a time and I have over 100 albums. Does anyone happen to know of any utilities that will batch convert those songs to midi files? I'm really missing my favorite music.

Thanks so much, Keith

PS: I hope to publish a full initial review on here regarding my 1st weeks with the DC6X Enspire Pro as I've learned a whole lot over a few weeks with this marvelous instrument.
