Having this evening successfully changed my original 12GB primary drive for a shiny new 40GB one (ah, 70GB of space - sheer luxury!), copying over all my music, play-counts, and settings, I'd like to make another heart-felt thank you to the Lords of the FAQ. (and in particular the drive upgrade guide), Mr. Fabris in particular, and anyone else who may have contributed.
That's it. I go to my bed at ease, knowing that my beloved empeg has space enough for another few hundred albums.
