First off, congrats on the new empeg. (I was "the name tag guy" at the meet)

The only time i've ever heard of this was Mark Lord's comentary on beeps and how hijack handles them. Apperently, hijack uses the same beep code as the player software, so it's concivable that if you have a player beep and a hijack beep at the same time, that an unknown behavior will occur which may screw up your empeg. No one has ever experienced this, however, as far as I know.

Probably not your problem as you don't even think you had hijack installed, but I figured I'd throw it out there.
