Excellent release - and I was even able to install it using Virtual PC! (now if only I could synchronize my playlist using Virtual PC... but oh well...)

One comment on the hierarchical playlists, though: one of the things I liked about the old playlists is that, when you hit the Playlists menu, it started you on the playlist you were currently playing. It doesn't do that anymore, instead starting you on the "play" button for the top-level (empeg-car) playlist every time you hit the "Playlist" menu. I can understand the necessity of this, since there is no "up" button inside the sub-playlists as far as I could tell, but wouldn't it make more sense to have the following?

1) an "up" button in every playlist
2) a "top" button in every playlist which would zap you up to the "empeg-car" playlist (with the "play" button selected)

This way, if I'm listening to sub-playlist A in playlist X, and I want to listen to sub-playlist B in playlist X, I only have one keypress to get to playlist X, rather than a navigation through the entire top level to get to playlist X...

I also have a "bug" (which may not in fact be a bug), which existed in beta 6 as well, but I'll post it in "bug reports" (and send it to bugs@empeg.com), as is standard procedure...
