Re: Smart Pianosoft Disks

2003-12-06 by tillsbury2000

Agreed.  IMHO, all of the Pianosoft and the few Smart Piano disks 
I've heard have been excellent quality.  Just choose music you 
actually like.  I have to say that I have bought a few that have 
have disk errors on them (from Harrods, even! :-)) such that they 
would not play, or only occasionally play, on the DKV.  Perhaps they 
have a tendency to hang around on the shelves for longer than is 
strictly sensible for a floppy disk.  You should ensure that your 
source is local so you can get back to exchange them if needed.

However, they have all eventually succumbed to DKVCOPY after enough 
retries so I can now play the lot.

PS. On the other hand, my absolute favourite Pianosoft disk would 
have to be An Evening With Harry.  (Just plain piano, not Smart 
though).  I would kill to be able to play like that, and I never get 
tired of listening to it.
