I think thats how the Pianosoft Plus Audio CD's work (and how Pianodisk
software is done). With Pianosmart you get a normal floppy disk for your
disklavier containing files which are synced against MIDI time code
(MTC). You then put your original audio CD into the player along with the
floppy and the disklavier magically syncronises the two.

I'd be interested to know people get on with this- and also hear from
anyone that has some Pianosmart disks and the dkvtools (e.g. are the files
just normal e-seq files?)

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.
