I just posted a link for some software that you may find fun to tinker 
with.

MID2PianoCD is a software utility for Windows which allows you to 
encode MIDI and ESEQ music files into the special CD formats required 
for various types of electronic player piano systems. These are CDs in 
which one audio channel contains audio accompaniment while the other 
audio channel contains a digital control track for the piano (sometimes 
referred to as "analog MIDI").

If you want to make a CD in which the piano accompanies an audio track 
(like some of the commercial CDs for these systems), you will need a 
software package for editing WAV files (a Google search for "wave 
editor" will list many choices). A decent FREE audio editing package 
that will work for this purpose is Audacity. Another good audio editor 
is Adobe Audition (formerly known as CoolEdit).

I found this program a little while ago and I've made the analog midi
files for the CD  just fine.   Am I correct in my assumption that the
Disklavier combined midi/audio programs just puts the audio on the Left
Channel and the analog midi on the right?   Is there anything special
I have to do (I guess the thing inspects the tracks on the disk to
figure out whether it has a regular audio-only stereo CD, a mixed
midi/audio, or midi only disk in?

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.
