Tony is 100% correct. Everytime I do the the "building databases" fix from the FAQ it works great, just like it's supposed to. UNTIL I want to add new music and I try to sync with emplode and it times out during the final rebuild, almost like emplode doesn't want to wait for the empeg. Once the progress bar reaches it's end emplode crashes and the sync is ruined and I have to rebuild again via hyperterminal.

I didn't used to have this problem until I went with a single large hdd and it didn't start until after I filled it with a crap ton of music.
