Hi Everyone. Eileen, i was looking at a older post of yours and i think i have been asking for the wrong file. I was after all the songs that come with the tyros 5 so i can put them on a usb and keep them. someone asked for the same thing, but i lost the site.
kind regards Margaret

Hello Margaret,
There are no actual songs that come with Tyros, only the demo songs but these can not be saved for copy-write purposes.
The Music finder only contains song titles and a link to the style that is thought suitable to play this with,
also using the style OTS. The file can not be physically opened to show content. It must be loaded into the keyboard for this to happen.
When you first get the keyboard it only has about 130 files on it. You can then go to the download site and get the full set which is around 1800. This can only be viewed when loaded.

Hi Margaret,

Eileen's download in Reply #3 (file name "Tyros 5 Music Finder.zip") is obviously NOT a Tyros5 MusicFinder file (.mfd), but the download contains Registration Bank files (.rgt). Presumably these are intended for use on the Genos and therefore cannot be loaded on the Tyros5.

You can download the original Tyros5 Music Finder file (over 1800 entries) here:
>>> https://usa.yamaha.com/support/updates/61011_en.html

There is also a German Music Finder file from Yamaha (728 entries):
>>> https://de.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/6/313096/Music-Finder-Eintraege-fuer-Tyros5.zip

Best regards,
Chris

You can also access the MFD file (with proper song names) for T5 on the PSR Tutorial site.
Click on the link at the top right of the forum, then go to lessons. Scroll down and there is a link to MusicFinder. Click on it and then scroll down to the table of files for different models. Select the mfd file for T5 from the list in the box, not the pdf text file.

So sorry Margaret I posted the wrong file. It is one I have done for genos owners to make things easier to find as Genos uses a new system called Play List.
Use the link to download that Chris has posted.

Thank you for your replys. I have come to the same problem. Both the tyros 5 on the this site and the download on the yamaha web site wont open. they keep asking me what app i want to open them with. I have unzipped the one on yamaha. i may have to get a computor guy out to see if he can sort it out. Eileen do you have the one for tyros 5 as the one you did send opened out fine on the keyboard but just couldnt read it of course if it was for the genos.

Thank you all again so much
Kind regards margaret

You don't open the file on your computer. You use the computer to unzip the file, then copy the mfd to a usb stick. Your keyboard will be able to open it from there. If you like what you see, you can copy it to your hard drive.

Cheers,
Fref

Hello Margaret,
As I have said all along you Can Not open this file on the computer. It must be loaded into the keyboard via USB stick then selecting Music Finder and then select Append. Instructions will be in your manual for this.
There is nothing wrong with your computer and you will get this message because the file is not meant to be opened on a computer. Once in your keyboard you can then see the content.
