Re: [disklavier] songs come up "untittle", and alphabetical order

Thank you. It worked!
Another question. I read the instructions from the dkutils directory. It mentioned that I need to format the floppy disk to 720K. Is this neccessary, because I did not do this step so my disk was at 1.44M and it still worked. So, is it necessary to format disk to 720K?
Thanks again,
Loi

I use the utilities at this site to add titles.
I use Mid2eseq to convert the midi files to Yamaha Esq files.
I then use Eseq explorer to create a directory for a group of esq files.
I then name the files any thing I like. You can also put them in any order by dragging and dropping them in the list. You can usually put about 70 midis on a HD floppy but Eseq Explorer sometimes has problems with large directories.
If you want you could also convert them back to midi with Eseq2mid and the titles will remain on the midi file. This is handy if you use VanBassco and build a play list of your favorite midi's.
If you put them on a floppy the song order will be the order they are copied to the disk.
You can also use YamPlayer to build a play list of several disks or individual Eseq songs.
There are some nice utilities at this site for adding titles to a batch of files.
Good luck
