Disklavier

Josh,

If you search the archives here you should see a post from Bill about what is coming in version 3.0.  Based on the list of things you don't like currently, I can't give you much hope for improvement in version 3.0 (as it has already been described, maybe it will change before release).

The only things that come close to your current issues are that you can now search for titles in your collection from the remote (nothing to do with the internet features), and the virtual PRC which effectively moves the interface from the handheld remote to the desktop of your PC/Mac (It is nice using a real keyboard instead of your thumbs, and mouse clicks are faster that touch screens, it would seem).

Here's hoping for the future!  ;-)

-Kevin

Subject: [disklavier] What's coming in v3.0?


I'm a brand new Disklavier owner (DC2M4) and hope to soon find time to
post something here on "Impressions from a new owner" or something...
that may be helpful to people considering purchasing a disklavier.

My impressions of the instrument itself are excellent, and the basic
functions of the recording and playback are good also.  But my
impressions of the internet functions, the "on-piano" internet
searching, the UI of the remote, the metadata of the service... all
are pretty terrible, especially for something in this price tier.

Can anyone say what some of the improvements and features are that are
coming in the 3.0 software?  I'm hoping it changes my impression for
the better...

Thanks,
