Interesting Observations

2019-08-25 by Ralph Specht

I took advantage of the 20% off sale at Yamaha MusicSoft and downloaded John Denver, Bette Midler, and George Benson albums. 

These have the Original Artist doing the singing as compared to other songs which have non-original artists such as Elvis or Fleetwood Mac. 

The sound is spectacular. 

When you download the album to a PC you need to unzip the album and the unzip each song. 

Interestingly enough each song is composed of a midi file which contains the Piano portion and a MP3 file which contains the orchestra and vocals. 

As I mentioned this is a great sound breakthrough. 

Also, I have many folders of songs which I migrated from the Disklavier Floppies and converted to midi and have copied to the Thumb drive for the Enspire unit. 

In order to keep them in some sort of logical order I start the folder name with a three digit sequence number. 

However when the Thumb drive is inserted into the Enspire the folders do not always display in numerical order. 

I found a free software program called FATSORTER which sorts the files in numerical order. 

Happy to answer any questions that you have. 

Ralph
