The empeg is capable (and has been for some time) of building playlists on the fly, based upon Artist, Genre, Album, Title or Year. When you upload a track it is placed into one or more playlists of your own design, and the ID3 tags are read to prefill the track information fields. You can then access your music by navigating your own playlist structure, or by specifying the artist and so forth.

Analysis of your personal play patterns is something that has been on our to-do list since the start. I think it was even discussed in one of the early newsletters. The idea was that you would be able to instruct the empeg to play, for example, tracks that you haven't heard in the last two months, or to play your most listened to tracks. I guess this functionality will be bolted onto the existing search system but there's no ETA right now.
