Can't Transfer User Songs to Computer....

I'm trying to transfer User Songs from my keyboard to my computer. I have installed Musicsoft Downloader and the drivers. I've established the connection between my computer and the keyboard using a cord. ("Your instrument is connected to your computer properly.")

However, the USB icon is not showing up lit on the main screen, and when I press Menu (under file control), it won't let me scroll up to User File Save. In Musicsoft Downloader, under "Electronic Musical Instrument," there is *NOTHING* except for the backup file on System Drive. Where are the MIDI user files?

My questions:
-How do I convert my files to MIDI and transfer them?
-Is the USB file supposed to be lit? Why isn't it lit when Musicsoft says that the keyboard and computer are properly connected?

Thanks.

convert a usersong to SMF format
by: Anonymous

highlight the usersong you want to transfer to your gig stick-plug the gig stick into the back of your piano, wait for USB to be highlighted on the piano's screen, when it's lit, convert the usersong to a SMF standard midi file.
Go to page 94 in the YPG625 manual & follow the instructions. When you press exit, detach your gig stick from back of piano, attach stick to your pc usb port & double click on USERFILES. It will play on windows media player.

Song Transfer
by: Bryan

I am having the same problem. I understand the answer to be to use a flash drive. Why do you have to use a flash drive to transfer songs when the piano and PC are already connected via a USB cord?
