Get Audacity (audacity.sourceforge.net), then a dual-ended sound cable (which can connect to your computer's microphone input and your piano's headphones output - adapter required!!!) then press record and play. Remember to make sure your speakers also produce the sound input so that you can hear yourself playing (or do it the simple way: Use the record function, then plug it in, press record on Audacity, then play the UserSong file, find yourself a magazine and sit by the screen and watch Audacity record. Remember that the "Start-Stop" button's 'lamp' stops blinking when it's done playing the file, which means it's time to click the stop button on Audacity. Then you can edit it however you like and save.

Luxy has it right on. As a matter of a fact I was able to get a superb sound recording transfer from my Yamaha DGX620 even using the Windows MovieMaker program that came bundled with my 5-year old SONY computer. AS Luxy pointed out, I simply took a quarter inch line out from the keyboard's "headphone out" line on the keyboard and (with a 1/8 inch plug adaptor) plugged into the back of my computer's audio line "in" (use the blue not the green or red color-coded receptacle). I then pressed the record button and (through trial and error) got a superb transfer. I found that, at least in the case of Window's MovieMaker, by keeping the record level at "zero" (yes ZERO) and riding the gain just from the keyboard (about 2-3 o'clock setting) I got a beautiful studio quality distortion-free recording. If you need to do further tweaking to the recording you can always use Audacity or SoundForge. Both are excellent. Hope this helps some. redhill
