Hi,
So I want to record MIDI-files with my Yamaha ydp-131. The only problem is that I can't use a midi-cable because my piano is downstairs and my pc is upstairs. So are there any other alternatives?

Record on your piano. Hmm, although I guess it doesn't have a floppy drive or anything that allows you to transport the MIDI files off the piano...

To DragonPianoPlayer, thanks for those links. I sure didn't know there'd be much market for stuff like THAT. Pretty slick!

By the way, you could also get a separate MIDI sequencer module (like the Yamaha QY70) and record on that. Then hook it up to your PC later. Or... get an old Atari computer (like an 1040 ST) for a few bucks. They have MIDI ports built in. I see one on marktplaats.nl for 12,50 euros. Can't beat that.

Thanks for the many suggestions. I think I'm going to do it with the easiest way. And that is to Buy a Laptop. I just needed one anyway:)
