Well, one of things everyone will need to understand is the requirements for using it...so no harm in leaving it in this thread for now.

I still think we have some confusion over what you are seeing on wireless.  So, let me try again.

Scenario #1) You have a wireless card on your computer, you have nothing connected to your DKV's ethernet port.

In this scenario, your wireless card might tell you that there is a wireless access point out there, and you can hop on it, but there is nothing to be found.  And, you have no access whatsoever to the To/From PC folder.

Scenario #2) Like #1, but you have a hard wire connection to your router/switch from the DKV's ethernet port.

Like the first scenario, but now you have access to the To/From PC folder.

Scenario #3) Like #1, but you have attacted wireless hardware to the DKV's ethernet port, turning it into a wireless device.

In this situation, your wireless card has 2 choices.  One is the access point connected to the DKV's ethernet port, the other is the access point that the PDA/Tablet use.  If your wireless card attached to one, you'll see the To/From PC folder, if it attaches to the other...there's nothing to be found.

Just to be clear, in all 3 of those cases you can use the software, just as long as you can convince your wireless card to hop onto the access point that is there for the PDA.

Your wife can certainly contact me directly.  I plan to put the searching in this weekend, and have the source code ready for release before Monday.  (although you threw in the new feature of being able to search by artist which I hadn't considered. :-)  )

            Kevin,


I did not mean to be misleading about what I am seeing via my wireless card on the PC.  I am seeing the dkv wireless connection.  Of course, other than the To/From PC Folder, I have not been able to do anything with the dkv connection.  Nonetheless, I do see the dkv and thus my wireless connection from the computer is working on it. 


My wife, who is a programmer, is interested in your software and in contacting you.  Would mind if she sent you a private e-mail?  Also feel free, to continue this discussion with me via my private e-mail address if you wish. I am concerned that others on this forum may prefer that we not extensively discuss this on the forum.

Ah, so I think you are in good shape...but one thing you said makes me a little concerned.

The To/From PC folder is exposed only when you are connected to the ethernet port on the DKV (either wired, or wireless).  If you have done that wirelessly, that's NOT the wireless I'm talking about... I hope this makes sense.

Either way, if you are wireless, you should be able to get this to work.  It's just that you have to make sure your wireless card is on the right SSID to talk to the piano (if it is working for anything else, then it's not on the right network).

My software can't do much about the fact that the CDs must be on the internal HD.  I suppose the only thing I can suggest is that you not store the CDs on the HD (they are huge, and are stored uncompressed AFAIK).  Just keep a CD rack nearby?
