Yamaha PSR 540-Line In !!

[Ray OKeefe]

Keyboard has excellent sound system and I would like to somehow establish a "Line In" to access mp3 song files on my Win XP computer. is this possible ?
*second question*
Yamaha manual says " operation of Sustain Pedal Switch can be reversed by depressing pedal while switching on the keyboard" This doesn't work with my Radio Shack brand switch. Do i need a Yamaha brand switch ?

Thanks

I just had a quick look at the manual - for the Line -in - "no"

I am not familiar with the 540 but if it has midi in-out or an USB-B connector you can make a connection with a computer to listen to MIDI's (not MP3) using the sound of the keyboard. In case it has an USB-B connector, a simple USB-printercable will do the job, In case it has midi in-out you need to use a cable as in the attached picture. They are very cheap and you can buy them on EBay. Plug and play. no need for special drivers or expensive interfaces.

Thanks for checking it out. it does have midi in/out and i have been playing midi files but i had hoped to be able to work with mp3s as well..
Thanks Again !!
