I don't see emphatic in the log, but you tell you think of "only leaving emphatic". If it's installed and running, you need to "Quit" emphatic by using its menu and THEN, do a sync. You can't upload songs to the player when emphatic is running.

I don't know if other users noticed this, but I need to do so... Took a long time to find what was going on.

Hope this helps
