I have been playing with the MkII for about a month now and have a pretty big list of things I would LOVE to see added or changed. Some minor, some major, some probably mentioned here already. I thought I would put down my full list of tweaks and let y'all have at it. If there are already solutions to these problems or suggestions, pls let a newbie like me know. Thanks!!!

Hardware (Very minor):
1) Sell an RCA to Stereo plug adaptor. I bought one at Radio Shack to connect the unit to my computer speakers but it would have been nice to have one shipped with the unit.
2) Have the unit remember my last active state and not start up defaultly with the Full Info screen. If I shutdown with a visualization running and info off, when I turn the car back on, it should be in the same state. This seems to work with using it as home unit but not in the car.

Empeg Web Site:
1) You have online ordering but how about online tracking? I have 3 items on backorder (colored panels and a bag) and have no clue when they will be shipped. When I order something fro the site, I should have a page I can go to and see where everything is in my shipping process.
2) FULL documentation. The docs shipped with the unit get you started but are very annoying. For example, MkII doesn't have a tuning card in it but the docs tell you how to use it. Further, the MkII does have an equalizer but the docs don't tell you how to set it or store levels. I have figured out how to do this but having a document to show me would have been nice.
3) Details on news announcements for current owners. It's nice to know that S3 and Empeg are merging but does that mean the tuner module won't ship now? Or that back orders are lost? Or that it will have no effect on opperations? Details like this would be nice

Visuals:
1) Probably the largest number of requests you will get in the Wish List section is for new visuals. So why not produce a Visual API package? This way we can develop visuals and distribute them without having at add to Empeg's work load. It could also be distributed the same way as Empeg Logos are.
2) Allow the logos to use the time/date functions already stored in the unit. I hate knowing there is a clock in the unit and I can't reach it.
3) Allow the clock to be 24hr OR 12hr.

Emplode (BIG CHANGES):
1) Make the playlists follow the position number and DO NOT alpha-sort them in the player. If I want the display to show "Frank Zappa" and put the playlist at the end of the list because of his last name "Zappa" I can do this in Emplode. When I sync the unit, it puts the playlist under "F" because of his first name. The until should ignore the title all together and follow the position number. Songs do this, why can't playlists?
2) When the player is connected, give me the option to fully slave the unit to emplode. I should be able to at least play, pause, restart, jump forward, and jump backwards from the emplode intrface and have the audio follow those commands. Currently, I can only play and pause. If I hit pause twice, it restarts from the start of the song and not where I paused it.
3) MASS EDITING OF ID3 TAGS!!!!!!!!!! I should be able to apply a year to an entire playlist by editing one song in a playlist and clicking a box to apply it to all files in that playlist. I loaded about 1800 songs without full ID3 tags before realizing I wouldn't have mass editing ability. Now I either have to delete all the songs from the player and reload them with full tags or go through the tags one by one to change them. For an example of what I am talking about, look at the Music Match player and edit an ID3 tag. They will let you apply your tag changes to an entire CD if you wish.

Developers:
1) I love what the developers are doing but have one minor suggestion. Please post a full description of what your development does. Some people are good about this, others bad. I am trying to come up to speed on a lot of these issues and tweaks and it helps me to know just what the tweak does. I see people post here and say "try this out" and a bunch of posts following which say "COOL. I must have", then I see a post to get it but no description of what the cool thing is or what it does. Also, the "check this out" link doesn't always work. Just a one paragraph description an list of systems it works on would be nice.

Thanks for listening!!!
