Disklavier

Todd
  Thanks so much.  I had a demo disk that the store
gave us and I downloaded some of the charlie brown
songs off you site to that disk and did all the
conversions and they played great.  I will have to try
the tape trick over the disk hole.  I have alot of the
hd disks but could only find 3 dd out of my pile of
disks.  Thanks again.  This is opening up a new world
of piano music for us.
