Re: Copying files off a CD

2012-10-08 by raymundo_77

Mark, thank you very much for the info and sorry I didn't be more clear in what I was trying to do.  Most of the ".mid" or ".FIL" files are in the 20k to 30k bytes range.  The CD's play fine on the 850, so I was just trying to figure out how to put them in a library rather than have to switch CD's.

Thanks again.

Ray

Then I installed the foobar.org [layer, not sure how to get it to create the files for the Disklavier DKC-850.
