Disklavier

Greetings Allan,

If you have inputs for audio encoded MIDI on your Disklavier (some
models do some don't) you may be able to play from the Ipod. I have
heard that Disklaviers do not do well with MP3 files so this may not
work unless there is some way you can put WAV files on an Ipod. I have
read conflicting opinions on WAV capability on the Ipod. Can try it if
someone really wants to know but different pods might have different
capabilities. wav files will be huge so you need a major Ipod to fit
many of them. try some MP3, who knows they may work on your DKV.
fortunately they work fine on my LX players so I can play from Itunes,
Ipod CDs DVDs etc.
