I have downloaded music from  Yamaha musicsoft and you must download
the installer program in order to download the file. Its not just 
downloading a midi file, as the program formats and then does a floppy
disk write to the disk, Not the HD. SO if there is not an installer
program for the MAC that is the problem.

Also I believe the disk when written is in Yamaha disklavier ESEQ
format so you cannot even read the disk unless you have a disklavier
or a special drive conversion program, as the first sector of the 
floppy is wiped.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
