You may still be able to get the DCD1 in some countries. The DCD1 connects to your piano via MIDI and you also need to connect it to your HiFi/monitor speakers for audio. This would give you the capability to play PianoSoft + Audio disks. Basically, these combine analogue MIDI (to control the piano) with a real audio track (just like Mark III)

I bought the Disklavier because I love the piano and the music it creates. I am not interested in hearing a singer accompany the music being played on the piano. With the death of floppy disks, I am thinking that I should have the DVD style system of the Mark III and IV (?) so that I can still buy newer recorded disks. It does seem like Yamaha still produces the occasional XG or piano soft product that can be used with my piano, but I am not sure what long term problems I face with the older mechanical system. The Yamaha piano itself is great, and if I played it better, I might not be worried about the other prerecorded material that I use with so much pleasure now.
