I have figured out how to apply a kernel patch, and it wasnt all that hard!
Thanks for a great applet, the install goes a fair bit nicer with the kernel patch installed, but running it at work on my workgroup network, the applet cannot handle more than two or three users at a time streaming the m3u playlist.
Is it possible to create the m3u file in the parent directories? eg dir Artist -> two + album dir's -> tunes in each album, m3u file resides here. Can m3u be created in album level, or in artist level?


Now if I can only figure out how to console into the empeg from a linux box....
