Hi, does anyone out there know of a utility that will allow a playable
CD backup to be made from a PianoDisc floppy?  Some of my PianoDisc
floppies are getting old and I don't want to loose the data (music)
on them, plus I like the playability (is that a word?) of CDs better.
I tried to contact Giebler Enterprises but haven't heard back.

Thank you!

 [ Julie Porter contributed a diskette utility program named PDFILE.EXE
 [ that "allows PianoDisc and Yamaha diskette directories and disk
 [ images to be listed.  In addition, it allows for the recovery of
 [ individual songs from a bad or corrupted disk.  There is also an
 [ option to allow for the creation of uncompressed raw disk images."
