I have installed MediaPlayer and NetPiano and downloaded the first song but it does not work. MediaPlayer gives an error - selected file has extension not recognised. Cannot play the file - either corrupt or Player does not support format. I am using Windows 2000. I think I have followed the installation instructions as given.	Check the extension on the downloaded file. It should have and extension of .wma. You may have inadvertently changed the filename when you saved the file.

Will I be able to use the songs to teach myself to play on my piano? Manipulate the temo etc..?	We have found that watching the keys move while it is playing is not a good substitute for a good piano teacher. QRS attempted to get the most accomplished players available for recording. In some cases it is the original artist performing his own work. For example, it really was George Gershwin playing the piano on the CD that bears his name. The technical ability of the players is far above the competence of many piano students and does not make suitable learning material. The songs on NetPiano are intended solely for playback on the Pianomation system and the tempo cannot be changed.
Is NetPiano compatible with Macintosh OS X computers with windows media player?	There is a bug in the Mac version of the Windows Media Player that Microsoft is aware of and is fixing. When this is fixed it should work fine.
Can I burn songs from the site onto a cd and play on my qrs system?	We will be adding that capability soon, so please check back with us.
What kind of cable do I need to connect my laptop to the 2000 CD Plus? Can I obtain that cable from you.	A standard computer audio cable with a stereo mini plug on one end and two male RCA connectors on the other.
