Mike, I'm on call this weekend, so depending on customers I'll give it a try. I just added 3 new cd's to my empeg and it happened again. Just rsyncing my other player (which hasn't been synced for a while) and its going fine (at least so far). As both players are on the same setup as far as s/w is

concerned, although they have different disc sizes and therefore I used mp3tofid with different options to different directories, but I might just reinstall the problem one if the other machine sync's ok.

I'll let you know how I get on over the weekend with the patch.
