Disklavier

I tried  out the ethernet  cable  from my Mac  Portable to Disklavier Mark IV directly and set 
my Macintosh to  "share internet" under system preferences "sharing".   I was able to 
successfully play my  disklavier  from  the complementary streaming piano radio station.  It  
has been  going all afternoon.   It is great!

I will have to  consider the buffalo hardware to do this wirelessly as I don't won't to dedicate 
this portable Mac strictly to my Disklavier at this time (however, it is a good excuse to buy 
another Mac ... ).   I  might even consider the subscription service it is THAT GOOD.

Gene, you info very interesting as well.  But again, a dedicated device under or near the piano 
is needed and I would prefer a wireless solution.

Congratulations Joan! If this worked wired, then it should work wirelessly From the network point of view: You will need to convert the Ethernet from wired to

$99 http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/ for wireless between Mac (if a new
Mac with built-in Airport, if not, buy a card from Apple) and Mark IV (plug
RJ45, or USB, from piano to Airport Express, which is plugged into
electrical wall socket). It is 802.11g with a soon-to-be-released 802.11n.

George,

What will waiting for the 802.11n  version give me?  faster transmission of data?

This sounds like a good solution and I have two $50 gift certificates for Apple Store 
presently and would prefer to buy Apple related equipment anyway.  At least it could be 
used for transmitting music and last time I considered the purchase of the airport express, 
it was backordered and I just did not purchase one at the time.

Since I connected via the PCR or Pocket Controller that comes with the Disklavier Mark IV and 
it does NOT display the URL on that device.

G was about 5x faster transmission of data than B; and N is about 5x faster
than G (in addition to providing extended range. Of course, your base unit
(Airport installed in, or attached to Mac) must be matched to get the speeds
(all versions are backward compatible).

The pdf document did not come over as an attachment.

Am interested in this information.  I just subscribed to the Disklavier Radio and am VERY 
pleased with it.  The Jazz channel is outstanding.  I am using a Macintosh portable hooked 
via ethernet cable to my Mark IV while putting the Mac in "share internet" mode via 
ethernet.  I would like to do this wirelessly.  I will probably buy the airport express 
hardware as suggested in this thread, but am waiting for the newer revision.

thanks,
Joan

I already had a wireless network in my home so this was all that was necessary.  It's tucked 
up under the piano and can't be seen.
