Which cavs player do you have? Did you buy it with music already on it?

If you have the JB-99 and you bought the music already on the player, you are out of luck.
If the music was added later you have 2 options.
1. You can remove the hard drive and install it in a desktop machine as slave on the primary channel. Boot into DR DOS, run CAVS utilities and recover your music.
2. You can get the special serial to printer cable they sell, hook it up to a computer that (A) is old enough to have a serial bi-directional printer port. (B) will not choke on the software. (C) has enough hard drive space left on the C: drive to copy all the music over.
After all this you don't make any mistakes and erase the JB-99 hard drive.

But why go to all this trouble. If you put the music on there yourself you probably wouldn't be asking this question.

Why not determine which songs are REALLY played from the thousands you think you need, and purchase those seprately. Sell the CAVS unit to one of your customers to play with at home. It would make a great set up for a home machine, just not that great for the pro. I gave mine to my mother-in-law and now I'm her favorite
