Disklavier

Robert,

Thanks. After finding out that the Giebler software would not copy an 
entire disk I went on to seek other solutions.  I appreciate your 
pointing out to me that individual songs can be copied using the Giebler 
software.  Using the DOS-based dkvutils suite, entire disks can be 
copied at once -- a considerable time saving when copying multiple disks.
