Re: [disklavier] homemade pianodisk on DKV won't play

Remember, this is third party software trying to emulate proprietary data
formats.  I doubt if you did anyting wrong.  I have used Nero to make copies
of Yamaha CDs and QRS CDs (back-ups of course) and they have worked..
Getting MIDI information to play on audio CDs is a lock trickier than it
sounds.  Although I can't remember which is which, I believe that Yamaha
puts audio on the Left channel and the MIDI on the Right, and PianoDisc does
the opposite?  PianoDisc only reads MIDI 0 files.  Anyway, all MIDI on an
audio CD must go through an analog to MIDI converter.

At this time, the Yamaha CD drive does not read MIDI files you burn to
folders on the CDs yourself.
