Re: [disklavier] Re: Search Function in Version 3.0 for Mark IV Disklavier malfunction?

Hello Joan,

Nope, it won't play MP3's. Infact it struggles to handle .wav files properly. It's a pity as MP3's at hires are excellent and obviously more efficient than crappy old .wav files. We might have to wait until version 5 :p

Whoops! I meant midi not mp3. I don't believe it will play mp3's. 
Sorry,
