In reply to:
ps. about those mixes bro, make them for the MP3 market. do the mix then split them into tracks and encode them. then edit the out point so it is seamless. We can then have that as one playlist (no shuffle) but navigate thru easily.
Aaaarrrrggh!
No, for two reasons. Firstly, I spend long enough putting them together and getting the editing right, I don't want to then effectively undo my work. Secondly, I sort of intended them to be listened to from start to finish, which the empeg and my CD player can do perfectly well. Besides, I don't really want to add to the MP3 cargo cult.
When a decent ID3v2 tag editor comes out I'll put cue tags into the mix at the points where the new song mixes in. Since empeg have said they'll support ID3v2, I'm hoping that will also mean the empeg can skip forward/backward to cue points, and display cue information on the info display.
I'm looking at ID3v2 tag editors now...
