W5 W7 floppy disc drive
The disc drive on my W5 finally died. Can anyone recommend how to retrieve song data and save in a format usable in this current century? Thanks!

Hi W5Guy, and welcome to the forums . . . .
Why not have a go at fixing the drive?
look here: http://www.bustedgear.com/part_belt_floppy.html
Open the drive. Remove old belt, clean the pulleys, clean the head, fit new belt, reassemble
And that should be it . . . I fixed my Sy85 with one of his belts . . .
