Well, it maybe a poor man's Mark IV :) since Yamaha doesn't seem to offering any upgrades :(, but I have successfully got my ipod to work with with my DC3A (at least for PianoSoft Audio CDs). Use the WAV importing option. You can find this in Preferences, Advanced, Importing tab. Once you put your CD into, itunes will read it in. However, you have to type in the Track Names and other items since itunes can't get the info from the web. After importing and syncing with your ipod, just hook the audio output of the ipod into the midi/audio rca inputs on the Mark III controller. I found it works pretty darn good. Not as high of quality as the CD, but close enough to make it easier. Do not use MP3 or other encoders as this will make your piano drop notes. Audio is OK, but the piano parts are a problem. I put the titles into a different GENRE. I started with my Holiday collection. Using random is great. Now, I wish I could put the rest of my non Audio CDs in, I'm sure there is a way using the MID2PIANOCD utility or something. Anyone do this? Thanks. SJ
