Hello Kathy
The music you have recorded on diskettes from your PR500 is not in a format which would be recognised by your PC. There is no software that can convert your recording to a format which will play out on your PC.
What you must do is link your PR500 by leads to your PC and providing you have a suitable piece of software on your PC such as 'Audacity' to record what it hears from your keyboard you will then be able to save that as an MP3.in your PC for regular listening on your PC.
