It's worth noting that while you can create a "smart playlist" on the device, it won't continue to update after your first sync because a known bug (well -- it's not really a bug since you were never really intended to be able to do this, but whatever you want to call it -- a known limitation maybe?) w/ the Karma. However, once the bug is fixed, it will magically start updating. I've been tossing ideas around with another person working on Karma libs and there's actually a good idea that's come out about how to work around that, so I may sneak that in.

Keep in mind too that these new jEmplodes themselves are beta, and Karma support within jEmplode is even more beta than that -- you're basically getting access through jEmplode to things that the Karma was never really meant to be letting you do.

Aside from that huge disclaimer, though ....... I would definitely make sure you have the latest Karma firmware if you're having problems with lockups.
