Thanks, that did it but it was sure a bitch. I had to copy the bad links
from the site to a text file, add the missing part and then grab all the
zip files using the correct links. I don't understand why Yamaha leaves
this sort of error on their site. Doesn't all this free music help to
sell Disklaviers? They spend a fortune doing the competition and then
make it a major chore for anyone to listen to the music.
I now have a complete set of all the E-comps performances and text files
for adding meta data to wither MIDI files or MP3s.
