Does anyone have experience of using these disks? If so are there any 
recommendations of good examples to purchase?

Thanks
Gary

Gary,

I have purchased an used several of the Yamaha Smart Piano disks. I have 
a two year old DC3A with the latest firmware upgrade and they have 
performed beautifully in this fine piano.  As far as recommending 
examples to purchase, I believe this is purely a matter of your taste in 
music and the available Smart Piano compatible CD's.

Agreed.  IMHO, all of the Pianosoft and the few Smart Piano disks 
I've heard have been excellent quality.  Just choose music you 
actually like.  I have to say that I have bought a few that have 
have disk errors on them (from Harrods, even! :-)) such that they 
would not play, or only occasionally play, on the DKV.  Perhaps they 
have a tendency to hang around on the shelves for longer than is 
strictly sensible for a floppy disk.  You should ensure that your 
source is local so you can get back to exchange them if needed.

However, they have all eventually succumbed to DKVCOPY after enough 
retries so I can now play the lot.

PS. On the other hand, my absolute favourite Pianosoft disk would 
have to be An Evening With Harry.  (Just plain piano, not Smart 
though).  I would kill to be able to play like that, and I never get 
tired of listening to it.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
