Disklavier

You may be archiving your PianoSoft files the hard way.  Why not use 
Giebler Utilities, or the free utility on this site, to convert your 
PianoSoft disks to MIDI and store the files on your laptop?

(I keep all my MIDI files on a data CD.  I have given them all long 
names (composer, title, performer) so that I can use the Windows Find 
facility to quickly locate them.  I play them with Cakewalk.)
