Ok, as long as you have the developer image installed, get a shell, type rwm (an empeg shortcut to read write the music partition, where the config file is)
cd to the /empeg/var/ directory
Then either use vi to edit config.ini and add the lines, or type

echo "[output]" > config.ini (creates a new file)
echo "timecodes=1" >> config.ini (appends to the file)

then exit, and the player will mount the partitions read only again

I've not tried that exactly, (you might need to type rw to mount the main partiton read write, but I'm not sure), however it should be enough to be getting on with... =)

I might add an option to automate that, providing the developer image is installed...
Actually, that's not a bad idea, config.ini editor anyone... =)
