I've just spent the day hacking together the first version of "EmpegNotifier". I think of it as AutoPlay for your empeg. It sits in the notification area (the tray) and watches for empegs coming and going on the local network (network-only at the moment, I'm afraid).

My plan is that you'll be able to attach actions to events (i.e. when your empeg appears on the network, run emplode). At the moment, however, it just watches for empegs and updates the icon and tooltip text.

If anyone fancies giving it a whirl, please let me know how you get on. Suggestions welcome. I've tested it on Windows Vista, but I think it'll work on Windows 2000 and newer.
