Here's a semi-capable third party open source player for the empeg ... it's my hacked up version of RioPlay originally written for the RioReceiver. I'm still trying to work out plenty of bugs, but at least it's working in some capacity.

Put streams.cfg in /etc/ to make Shoutcast functional ... otherwise you get a segmentation fault ... this will be fixed next time around (to be located in same directory as app).

Very few of the remote keys work ... 2, 4, 6, 8 are directional menu keys but there's something wrong where they jump two spots. Use the volume knob instead.

5 on the remote is the "Enter" ... Menu on the remote brings up the menu. Cancel on the remote is stop. Play on the remote is play.

There is no searching, only skipping tracks.

Source button on remote is power

Volume works a little bit.

Before you run this, make sure you have a rioreceiver server running somewhere with a few songs in the database. I found the rioreceiver server windows software on dell's support web site. Maybe the empeg guys would be kind enough to post the server app somewhere since it's no longer available?
