1) How many tunes are on your Empeg?
2) When you say jEmplode won't let you create directories, what is currently selected when you attempt this and what are the exact steps you're following to attempt to create playlists?
3) When it says OutOfMemoryError, is there any other information provided or just that one sentence?
Also -- 45 is the latest installer version. 44 was the last unofficial release. Unfortunately the autoupdating is screwed up with these releases because you can't actually autoupdate 44 to 45. After I finish the project I'm working on, I'll be back to jEmplode and I can work on some of these issues ... Hopefully it will only be a couple more weeks on this project.
