It just is not going to happen.  I, too, have a MIDIman interface with a 
Sony Walkman CD player hooked up to it, on my Mark IIXG Disklavier.  I can 
play QRS and PianoDisc CD's, but not Yamaha CDs.

The only way I could even copy MIDI files to a CD was to put a bunch of them 
in a folder, then copy the folder to a CD. However, the MIDIman is an analog 
to MIDI converter (or the other way around!)  You cannot play MIDI files 
from a CD to a Disklavier.  You must put the MIDI files on floppy disks.

I, too, have a MarkII XG Disklavier.  Can you tell me which MIDIman interface can be connected to a Sony Walkman CD player so that CD's can be played on my Disklavier?  I'm just learning about my Disklavier so any info you can provide will be appreciated.
