Um, actually I have not tried jemplode recently. I usually sync over USB to the player from Windows 2000. When I tried that, long ago, the combination did not work well at all. So I have been using emplode all along.

I can add tracks and all, and (to be honest) I do not sync much. I have my playlists fairly static at this point, and the rare random change is not that big a deal.

Edit: correcting typos.
