Problem with this is that there seem to be very few people willing to rewrite the RioCar player software from scratch

This would be a fairly large project to do free of charge, and with so few empegs in the world it seems unlikely it'll ever happen. Even for more widespread devices it tends only to be those with poor factory software that inspire the effort to re-write.

From recent experience I'd say it would take four people working full time about six months to write software of roughly equivalent functionality to v3.

those who have access to the source have other obligations and also might not be allowed to release a new version

As far as I can work out the empeg codebase has been tucked up and put to bed. I don't believe it will ever be open sourced - there are too many IP complications. I think the most we can hope for is an occassional very unofficial v3alpha update, but I'm not holding my breath.

I wonder how easily Numark's new codebase would target the car player...
