It's been a while since I used emptool, but I seem to recall that you had to use the "#" sign to denote an FID reference (like #3b0). I could be insane on that one, though ... The other thing to note is that my impression is that emptool is not kept up to date with Emplode, so you will have mixed success with things like tunes that are not in any playlists, etc (it will put in them in Unattached Items like the old days)
