Installing Samba on the player would not help Emplode at all. You would have to rewrite the player software as well as emplode before that would work.

true. but the impovement would be great.

If you want to improve the transfer speeds to the player from your laptop, you can use USB which will be a little faster than the 2mb wireless card you're describing.

I don't think so. mp3 files are on my fileserver. empeg is connected to a 100mbit switch. emplode is running on my laptop which has only a 2mbit wireless lan.
So If I connected the empeg to the laptop with usb, the files would still have to travel that 2mbit connection...

So I'd like a version of emplode that (if a file is NOT on a local disk but on a network disk) would just tell the empeg to grab \\server\share\path\file.mp3 with a given username/password.
