Please be clear. You say you have a playlist on your Empeg of 450 songs. You set the Playlist beam option to Replace (upper right hand corner). Then you select 19 songs on the Palm using Palantir, point the Palm at your Empeg, and press Beam on the playlist screen. Then the Palm brings up the beam dialog, the beam dialog ends, then your Empeg displays the message "19 Songs in playlist", but the playlist stays with the same 450 songs?

Yey, this is exactly what is happening. (sorry, if I didn't express myself clearly, my english is somewhat rudimental )

Yes, the program worked. I had a littlebit of trouble getting it to work (see my earlier posts in this thread) but then it finally worked flawless. The database on the palm is up-to-date with the files on the empeg; so that's not the cause. The only thing I did was to delete "emptris" and the corresponding line in the config.ini; do you think that could be the cause of my problem?

This line is what I get in Hyperterminal when sending a playlist with one song:

#000001010

I guess that is the id of the track?

Thank you for trying to help me; I won't have internet access for the next week; so you don't need to hurry on this one
