I'm using the latest version (consumer 2.00) of both the empeg software and emplode, but I had the same problems with the most recent beta. I'm not using hijack. The OS is Windows 98 and I'm connecting over USB.

As far as the same tracks failing every time, I may have overstated that. I've never tried a track more than twice without modifying it. And I've only occassionally tried one more than once. I'll do a more thorough test of that. I'll also give ethernet a try - it's been a while since I used that. I can't remember if I had the same problems with it.

Thanks for the reply. I won’t be at my machine until tonight. I’ll let you know what happens...
