I just went back and checked all my e-mails from Hugo and the boys at empeg. He did state that the empeg supports both MP2 and MP3 compression and that you can mix and match them indiscriminately, and while he kind of implied that the supplied empeg software would RIP MP2 as well as MP3, he didn't come right out and say it. Since I am #8741 in the waiting queue, I figure I have a lot of time available to resolve this difficulty!
