Disklavier

(sorry if this is a duplicate, I just noticed that some of my replies
didn't ever make it to the group)

DKVBrowser and the PDA (and tablet) will (and do) share the playlists.
 It's all stored on the piano. Try the latest version.

Drag and drop isn't there yet, but I'm working on it.  For now, it
allows you to at least play a playlist, which the first version didn't.

Editing the song/album title is there (for a pianosoft and user
sections only, for now, since the others seem transient anyway). 
Editting the other metadata of the songs (subtitle, genre, rating,
etc) is easily done, but not there.

DKVBrowser automatically tries to wake the DKV out of standby every
time you run it...this is harmless if it is already running, so it
just does it every time.

Glad it's working for someone!  Now to figure out Tom's issue...

stored on the PDA or the piano.

was simply waiting for the PDA to be turned on.? Also, by launching
the DKVBrowser and searching for softwares, the piano came out of the
standby mode and could start playing.

Since I'm so new to the piano itself, I haven't played with playlists
at all.? The PDA/table interface feels clunky, so I'd really like
DKVBrowser to evolve into something that supports drag and drop to
create playlists.? Also, editing of song titles, etc. right in the
browser would be nice as well.

Perhaps a playlist or my favorites would be wonderful.? Thanks again.

don't know how well it behaves with HUGE databases.? Okay, enough
disclaimers. ..Have fun!

though - quite a laborious task poking tiny buttons.? I also seem to
remember being able to set the songs rating from 1 to 5 stars using
the PRC/TRC.? Never investigated that much personally though.

is discussed more in our paper.

So, tonight I have to work on some code to understand when those are
