Disklavier

Thanks for the responses, Phil Becker and Spencer_Lists!

In looking around the web, I find that the WIDI device, although still available, is no longer being manufactured.  I may still pick one up, but I am concerned about what happens after a couple of years and the thing malfunctions.  Therefore, I am leaning toward running an in-wall cat5 wire and using a cat5 to USB adapter thingie (coupled to a MIDI to USB adapter thingie).

However, my wife will have the final say on this issue!

Myu DKV box does indeed have audio in/out ports and I have in-wall wiring to hook up the DKV to my stereo/computer system.  I have yet to do so, but I will sometime this year.

I tunes works great for this. since i have a Live Performance LX, I can play MP3 files this way which allows me to add text tags that display in Itunes. if your DKV will play MP3 files (i have heard that some do and some don't) you can do this too.
