I wonder what sort of error-detection is performed on the MP3 files as they are being transmitted to the Empeg. It might be worthwhile for emplode to calculate a checksum for each MP3 file that is uploaded, then ship both the file and the checksum to the Empeg. If the Empeg cannot reproduce the same checksum, then it knows that one or the other is corrupt.

Those checksums could also be stored on the Empeg itself as an extra integrity check... Every time the file is loaded, the checksum could be re-computed, and if it differs from the expected value an error event could be generated...
