[FoRK] music on OS X, Part III

[Ian Andrew Bell]

I just bought one of these for $100 at the Apple Store and it was 100%

Probably would have been much less hassle.

Only gripe is that I wish that the USB keyboard could wake the Mac  
when it's sleeping.

Not sure how to get you a nice sounding Piana.
