where to buy CD's and disks

where to buy CD's and disks

2016-10-27 by michellelynam@...


I have a 1999 DGP1xg Yamaha baby grand. It has a DKC100XG that plays floppies. It also was upgraded at some point adding a CD player DCD1 which is piggybacked in via the midi and analog ports. (Is there somewhere on the piano how to tell on the piano what model "Mark" it is??????)


There are so many smart people on this forum and I was able to burn a couple of floppies on my own but I found it was time consuming and cumbersome. The process wouldn't work if I tried to burn too many songs on one disk, and I was unsure of how to know what the perfect amount of songs were.


I'm a super busy mom, so I kinda give up... (for now).


I'd love advice on where to buy disks or CD's that would work in my setup. Anyone have experience with eBay, particularly a seller named"playerpianocdsandfloppies?'


Thanks,

Michelle

I've had a good experience buying floppies on eBay, including I believe from the seller you mention. Several years ago I purchased a collection of 77 floppies -- classical, jazz, new age, Elton John, New Orleans, blues, ragtime -- for about $170. A ton of great music.

Unfortunately, I don't see that offer on there right now, and prices have gone up a bit. But there are still a lot of great floppies available for much cheaper prices than Yamaha charges.
