The long long database rebuild times have always bugged me

This calls for another shameless plug for mp3tofid. mp3tofid will build the database on your PC which you then can upload to the player. This is much faster than having the player build the database.

I'm currenty working on a new version that will support not only mp3, but also wav, wma, ogg and flac files. Playing ogg and flac will require a v3 player, off course.

As far as I know, this will be the only way to get flac running on the player, as the version of emplode that comes with v3.00-alpha3 does not support uploading flac files, even though the player can play them.
