I recently got it into my head that the FIDs literally are the mp3 files (plus some empeg cataloging data), yes?
Yes, some of the FIDs are the actual MP3 files. But here's the trick: The FILE NAMES are not the names of the songs. They are just sequence numbers.
So if you combine the drives of two different empegs, you are going to get a bunch of DUPLICATE FILE NAMES. Which will wreak havok with the player's ability to rebuild its database correctly.
Best to just wipe that second disk before re-using it.
