Re: [disklavier] Re: Connecting MarkIV to a Home Network via Wireless

The Mark III does not have a wireless or Ethernet connection like the  Mark 
IV.
The Mark III only has a midi port and an audio input and output.
 
 
You can however connect a laptop or other PC to the piano with a midi cable  
and then put the laptop on the wireless network. This will give your Mark  III 
many of the same features as the Mark IV. You cannot connect to  Disklavier 
Radio.
I think all the songs on Disklavier Radio can be downloaded anyway.

You can also connect the PC to the piano with a wireless Midi cable and  
connect the PC to the wireless network that has a Internet connection. If the  
network has a Internet connection you can play midi's from the Internet.

( I have not tried either of these)
 
There are several midi and Yamaha ESEQ file players available for Windows  
but I am not sure what is available for MAC.
 
I bought a used Dell laptop that I just leave next to the piano all the  
time. So for $450 I have connected my piano to the Internet and can play an  
unlimited number of songs from the harddrive. I setup playlists on the  PC. So if I 
want to hear Christmas music I select that list or if I am in the  mood for 
Jazz I select that list. I can also play them randomly with the shuffle  
feature on the player.
