older systems?

 

Thanks

in being Beta 
testers for this update. In order to be a Beta tester, you must have
broadband Internet 
service. By being a Beta tester, you will be able to enjoy Disklavier Radio
for a three month 
period and you will be able to download several songs from the Disklavier
Music Store 
during this period at no charge. In exchange, we will ask you to fill out a
couple of 
questionnaires that will be sent to you during this period that will help us
work out any 
"bugs" that may exist with the software.
