Well, I have been able to get emplode to recover from the lockup and return an error message that says "Error in Stage 5" I also discovered a peculiar thing as well. When I tried to upload Ozzy Osbourne "No More Tears" CD, all but the title track would upload. While uploading that track it would lockup then recover and skip the track. I attempted to upload the same track ripped from a different CD "The Ozzman Cometh" and it worked flawlessly.
Also, is there a plan for enhancement in emplode that would report errors in uploading tracks telling you it skipped track X? When the upload was done on the first try ("No More Tears" CD), it gave no indication of an error, I only knew by patiently sitting there and waiting for it to recover and finish then checking for the tracks...
