emplode bug - 19/08/1999 10:51

I've been getting GPF faults in emplode when attempting to cut and paste play lists under a play list. It really pissed me off when it happed for the fourth time and of course you loose all the changes and have to start from scratch. I assume this is a general stability issue.

P.s. It would be nice to be able to save the playlist changes to continue to work on it later without having to start from scratch... I'd hate to think what my reaction would be when I just created my 50th playlist/artist group and emplode blows up on me... :-)

After wasting a couple hours twice. I am now doing one playlist at a time and synchronizing. It is a shame after downloading 1.5G of music for the software to crush.

Alas we were warned that it was Betta software...

By this definition isn't all Microsoft software classed
as Beta?

So far I'm pretty impressed with the quality of the empeg
in general considering the small size of the development
team (And I don't just mean Hugo's height!).

Cheers

Impressed we should remain.

By the way "Beta" is for Microsoft and "Betta" is, you know, a better Beta. :>

The software does seem to have some rough edges but overall it works as it should.

Ah Ha! A work around... - 20/08/1999 15:11

I've figured out a work-around for the emplode blowing up on me and the lack of refresh (which may be related). What I do is go through and add all the playlists. When I need to create a sub-list, I hit F5 (refresh) which updates the screen and suddenly shows all those lists that I created. As long as I don't manipulate the playlists in the right hand window - using it soley for dropping MP3's into - emplode works great.

I'm in the process of pushing down about 5-6GB's of MP3's to it right now. I'm just about to start a long road trip (delayed while I'm waiting for it to push the stuff onto the empeg) and I wanted more tunes.

I can't wait to get this permenantly mounted in my car - right now I'm using a tape adapter.

Cheers,

=-C
