Re: Unable to play downloaded files- help!

2005-04-15 by r99hawk

Carol;
Kick me for this but ... My Yamaha is a 1990's unit not 2000's unit 
as I had initially typed (oops!!).  I see from other digging that 
that vintage needs firstly 2DD discs and the Yamaha site that your 
web site link directed me to also has another version of download 
software for that vintage of the MX100.

So sorry!
Thanks for youe efforts.  I will try tho get the 2DD discs and see 
what happens.

Cheers,
Rob
