I think that we've actually found a bug in the player. Let me confirm this, however.

I insert the songs using serial commands. I haven't tested this, but if you don't have a playlist, and you use the insert serial command, I expect the player would do the same thing (segfault). I'm busy until tonight, so if someone else could confirm this, that would be great.

The default for Palantir is to insert the playlist after the currently playing song. In the future this will be customizable, but When I Get To It (tm). The entire player _is_ open source, though

I understand your view about soundtracks and various artists. However, if you know the Soundtrack or various album you wish to hear, why not just search for it using the Empeg remote? The Palantir application is a very simple app as it is, and I don't want to make it any more complicated than it has to be. The design would have to change significantly to be able to view all tracks by Artist or all tracks by Album.
