So, if this goes as well as I hope, I'll have running RioReceiver software on my empeg within a couple of minutes.

Hey, here's an interesting thought. Kind of lateral thinking.

If you can get the Rio Receiver software working, perhaps theres a way to modify it so that it can get a list of playlist links from a web page. In fact, I think that would actually be simpler in the code than what it currently does to grab the playlists from the Rio Receiver Server.

Then, tell it to do localhost (127.0.0.1) to get the web page and that way it pulls up the Hijack web server software.

Therefore, you could have the Hijack kernel streaming the local MP3 files to the local Rio Receiver software. Bam, open-source local player app for the empeg.

Okay, it's a dirty way to do it. I was just thinking since Hijack already indexes the playlists for us...
