Disklavier

Joan, have you considered putting them on a memory stick?  I'm almost certain I've done what you are asking with a memory stick, and it works exactly as you expect.  Folders are recognized (at least one level, I don't think I went deeper than that), and unknown file types are ignored.

The nice part about the memory stick, of course, is that you can add to it and remove stuff at will...

Here's a warning about both the memory stick, and the CD though...Each time you wake the piano from standby it goes off and figures out the entire structure of the storage so that it can load them into the internal database (just for reference...they are still on the external media of course).  This can take considerable time if there are lots of files and folders.

Subject: [disklavier] Quick Questions For Anyone - Mark IV Using CD with Midi Files


I am wondering if anyone has loaded a CD with Midis into their
Disklavier Mark IV and played midis from that device.  I know that it
is doable and just have a quick question .....

Can I put the midis in folders on the CD when I burn the CD of midi
files?  Will it recognize the folder structure or do I need to just
put midi files on the CD? 

If I have another file amongst the midis such as an Excel document
will this be ignored?

Thanks,
Joan

I am trying to backup some of the classical and piano rolls with
proper names in the midis so that I can play them from a CD I burn
rather than loading them onto the hard drive.
