OK, well, I still get the effect when I first switch on the player. The button I'm referring to operates the 'hush' command - sometimes when I get back in the car after having it in the house, the volume seems too loud, and I hit the hush button probably less than 5-10 seconds after the empeg starts playing. In this case, the empeg still interprets this as a 'pause' command about 75% of the time.

However, I've been unable to get it to do this with the new Hijack after these 10 or so seconds have elapsed (and the empeg is presumably doing less, and hence more responsive to button-presses?). So the update has fixed the general problem, but it still occurs in a specific instance.

Many thanks,

A.
