Using Ipod for Mark IIIa

2006-12-10 by sjhart110110

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
