I just got my Karma for Christmas, and I stumbled onto this board by accident. Then I found this thread. jEmplode's soups are so wonderful that they make me weepy. On the other hand, I'm not sure if jEmplode is doing anyhting other than reading from and occasionally locking up my Karma.

Right now it might be trying to fit 40G of mp3s into a 20G Karma, or maybe it is just indexing my workstation's mp3s. The ways of jEmplode are inscrutible, but if I can finally ditch iTunes for even smarter smart playlists it will be absolutely worth it. Right now I have xsltproc parsing iTunes's xml Propertylist to make a "real XML file" which is then run through xsltproc AGAIN and finally tweaked with perl, all so I can get my songs ratings out of iTunes and onto my Karma.

Nevermind. I should go to sleep.
