Follow up questions:

1. Is it always the same song giving you the issue? Or is it all songs?

Happens on any song the player ends on.

2. Did the problem only start happening after you ran MaxFid and FidSift, or did the problem happen before that?

The problem just started last week. Continues to happen after the complete rebuild and synch of songs.

3. What method is being used to reboot the player when this problem occurs? Does it also occur if you reboot using the Hijack menu option for restarting the player?

I have tried pulling the plug in home mode, pulling the dock when it is in the car, and using Hijack reboot in both modes.

4. Are you using a customized Config.Ini file, and does the problem happen only after you put the custom Config.Ini back on the player after reformatting it?

Only thing custom is the choice of favorite visuals.

5. When you ran it, the builder *did* format the hard disk completely, right, all the songs were gone and you had to re-synch them all, right?

The first time I ran it did not work right. It only recognized half the disk. Emplode only showed 128 of the 250 gigabytes. Had to format the drive using windows and use the builder again and all appeared normal.
