What is upgrading the software going to do for me as it seems to work fine (most of the time)

Oh my goodness, get the latest software. 1.0 is out and it's great. The link is at the top of the page here on the BBS. Getting new software is one of the best things about owning an Empeg. It's like Christmas every time they come out with a major release.

There are some important bugs in your April software that were fixed, there were many new features added, I think you even get some new visuals. I think that the "Now and Next" screen might even be new to you.

To look at exactly what's changed, look at the release notes for each release on the web site. But there's often stuff that Mike hasn't even put in the release notes.

Also is there a more up to date emplode as well?

There usually is. Always get the new Emplode first, install it first, then run the player software upgrade. In your case this is absolutely required.
