If anyone in empeg towers would like to have a few 80GB drives to test with, or borrow one of my players for experimental use, please send me a PM or email

There shouldn't be any need for that. The issues, after all, are all to do with database size, not total amount of audio, so at the worst we'd only need a similar collection of *1 files -- which needn't have genuine *0 files behind them. We could lash that up easily on the 20s and 30s which Empeg Towers' biggest players have.
