Here's a neat new feature idea for emplode stolen directly from here:
http://www.ipodorganizer.com/

We need a utility to convert contacts from Outlook or somewhere into ID3 tags that we can view on the empeg by going to a "Contacts" playlist and putting the Info mode to "Track" to see as much ID3 info as possible. Should be easy to do... anybody like this idea? I could do some parts of it... but others may already have ID3 programming libraries they know and love and thus could do it quicker.

Hmm, not a bad idea, since the empeg has the advantage that you can search playlists too. Might work quite nicely. How does the Mac program create the lists? If they are created as m3u playlists then you could import them straight into emplode.
