Greetings!
Every now and then, I am just struck and impressed by the capabilities of the empeg.
For the last few days, I have been thinking of a fragment of Jethro Tull's "A Passion Play". No idea why, but it is kind of quiet in the office at the moment, so I just queued it up on the player. It is amazing - every album I have in my library and more, all available at the touch of a button for instant listening. Try that with any other music or media system!

Did I even tell you how much I hate you Paul
For those that do bring their empegs into the office, how do ye set them up for listening?

I have one of Mark's "works" docking stations connected to our Intranet. The audio outputs go to a headphone amp and headphones. The console port is connected to my workstation.
Basically, I have serial and TCP access, so I can either play raw from the player or TCP stream. The direct connect has high quality stereo headphones. For streaming single tracks or "stealth mode" listening, I also have an audio connection from my PC into the input to my telephone headset. Sadly, this is a rather compressed mono feed (mixing the channels), but it is great for listening to stuff in the background while looking like you are on a conference call...

I know what you mean, I've just installed the my main empeg in the smart after not having it in a car for a few months, I'd nearly forgotten just how cool the empeg is. Of course this newly discovered joy is slightly marred by the fact the players mp3 collection is about 6 months behind, so I'm ripping a 2 foot high pile of new discs at work today using Brads excellent tutorial on EAC tweakery.

I just put the player on my desk and plug my headphones right into the line-outs. These are not full size ear-muff style headphones, but small in-the-ear style.
Works great.
