Hmm, Well I loaded up the latest 3.0 firmware. Some interesting wierdness. First of all, everytime I power on the empeg it takes several minutes to build the the music database before I can play anything. Is that normal for everyone?

Secondly, when I try to use the new emplode with it, emplode coughs up an error almost immediately while trying to read the database from the Empeg.

Hmm, guess I'll go back to 2.01 unless anyone has any ideas. I like the oval lines around the menus...didn't listen to the audio to see if it really has better decoding quality...will jsut stick with 2.01 I guess...
