OK! Here's what I found. The track plays fine in both Winamp and the Empeg. I get the current bitrate in Winamp. I can seek normally in both Winamp and the Empeg. The "current time" gotcha arises when I stop the car mid-track (the empeg powers down), start the car (the empeg powers up) and then observe the current time. In a nutshell, it's way off.
