Disklavier

Good afternoon, everyone.

If you have a Mark III or an earlier Disklavier with a DCD1, you can  
play PianoSoft Plus Audio CDs from a computer or external CD changer.  
iTunes makes a nice librarian in this regard, but you must turn off  
the Sound Enhancer feature.

Regards,
PianoBench
