I dunno where any speed difference would come from.
But "only 14000" tracks is plenty enough to benefit. If each track appears in two playlists, that's a shuffle of 28000 on down-down-down.. well past the previous player limitations here.
Cheers

It always seemed to pause and wait - when I had only a few tracks on and pressed down/down/down, I'd get the hourglass then it would go straight into the new playlist. With many tracks there would be a pause in the music, after a long period of time with the hourglass. Now the pause is gone again

If anything, it should be a tiny fraction slower if you've got a huge playlist. Before it'd truncate your playlist when it ran out of room but now the playlist area has grown so it will write more.

wonder if it was truncating and getting upset about it before? I know sometimes after uploading new tracks the rebuild database would fail, and I'd need to pull power, wait for the empeg to do its long rebuild, then resync with emplode - that no longer happens (or has not yet, even though I added 200 tracks last night)

Mark, how can I do this? I am afraid I'm missing the proper command. I could do all up to that step. I have the set_empeg_max_fix.v7 in /empeg/bin/player , but then?
Just run the set_empeg_max_fix.v7 program (no args required).
But your original text worries me.. /empeg/bin/player is a file, not a directory. It's not possible to have set_empeg_max_fix.v7 "in /empeg/bin/player", unless the instructions messed you up somewhere..

Sorry, I meant set_empeg_max_fix.v7 is in /empeg/bin/ But now I have my ftp client open on /empeg/bin . What should I type at the command prompt?

Thank you thank you. I worked perfectly! Sorry, I also realized you had mentioned the SITE EXEC command before. Now that I think about it, is this also fixing the random-marked fids bug? Were those two issue related?

Hi Guys - I am new to this scene and have just bought an empeg and I have today managed to upgrade to 2 x 80Gb drives, I have read this thread numerous times and I dont seem to be able to get it into my thick skull, can someone please give me a basic step by step explanation on how to complete this. Also I have aquired an illumination Kit and I wondered if there was anyone in the UK who could do the fitting?

Greetings! I am not quite sure what you mean by a "layman's" version, but will this help?
