CD's as well as floppys regarding MIDI files. The files will play fine 
using the CD with my laptop hooked to the Disklavier but I would like 
to be able to just stick the CD into the piano and select songs. Any 
suggestions?

Unfortunately, this can not be done.  I personally never understood why 
Yamaha didn't provide a firmware upgrade to allow this.  It really 
could not be that difficult.... SJ
