Interesting. It sounds like you've put a lot of effort into those playlists. I hope one of the local linux gurus can help you with the commands to use PPP and tar the proper files.
I offered to make a playlist just for my wife- she wasn't interested.

You're right about the empeg being a good home component. I see it as even more than that. I see it as a way to bring all of my music with me- at work, at home, at a friend's house, etc.
