How's this for an oddity...

The last couple of days, when I turn my car off (ignition off, keys in my pocket) the empeg just keeps right on playing. No sound -- the amps are off -- but the empeg won't stop. Doesn't go into standby, doesn't shut off, just keeps going until I pull it out of the dash. Re-insert it and it stays off until I turn the ignition back on.

Sounds like a wiring problem, doesn't it? But this is not the first time this has happened.

So on a hunch, I think "This problem started after the last time I synched the player. I wonder if re-synching it will make the problem go away?" I change the order of two songs in a playlist to force a re-synch, re-synch the player, and voila! Problem solved.

Have you heard of this happening before? What do you suppose could be the underlying cause?
