I will take "well made"over "well marketed" any day. I do agree with those who say that the the approach to selling pianosoft music is antiquated. I think that it is only a matter of time until Yamaha goes to the I-Tunes model of buying the song you want.
Actually, this concept has already gone live with respect to the Clavinova and certain portable Yamaha keyboards. It is called IDC: Internet Direct Connect. You get your keyboard on your home network, and then you can browse a special website for content that you purchase with a credit card and download directly to the instrument.
It remains to be seen when this becomes available to Disklavier. Of course you can use your computer to purchase content downloadable to your computer from www.yamahamusicsoft.com.
