Disklavier

I think I finally got the method.  After RipARooter, I delete the pianodir.fil file.  Then sometimes the song files have no suffix, eg, no .fil.  So I add it and add a prefix to order the songs 001 song1.fil, etc..Then onto the thumb drive in folders.  Lots of busy work but I guess only hve to do it once.  Thanks.  Dave
