Re: [disklavier] Floppy Disk Storage adn Organization

2001-06-29 by Robert E. Welcyng

You've done a service to those with an affection for more of those pesky jewel
cases.

As an alternative, some might wish to convert their PianoSoft material to MIDI
and put the files on a CD-ROM.  Let's say you devote 600 MB of a CD-ROM to
data.  That would allow you to store at least 800 each 720 KB albums on a single
CD.  Of course, you'd put the files in appropriately labeled folders and name
the files descriptively.  You'd devote a folder in the CD to playlists and use a
sequencer to play your DKV.  Rather than search and shuffle through jewel cases,
you use your Windows "Find" facility to locate files by composer, title, or
performer.  You don't have to bother about returning disks and cases to their
proper places.
