yes, i've seen that and i'm quite interested in trying it on my 'spare' empeg (though i won't profess to understanding it all just yet!).

i'm wondering how much quicker upload times would be with a cf empeg, or whether it makes no difference, either way cf a more sound idea.

I'm still astounded by the low value of these players today, for what it does, there is nothing in it's league, certainly not that i'm aware of. i picked up my spare empeg for just £40, have spent a few hours and so far, $5 to repair it, it'll have an upgraded drive soon (poss to cf) and even then, will still be cheap considering what it can store and do!
