Thanks, that did it but it was sure a bitch. I had to copy the bad links from the site to a text file, add the missing part and then grab all the zip files using the correct links. I don't understand why Yamaha leaves this sort of error on their site. Doesn't all this free music help to sell Disklaviers? They spend a fortune doing the competition and then make it a major chore for anyone to listen to the music. I now have a complete set of all the E-comps performances and text files for adding meta data to wither MIDI files or MP3s.
