For the amnesia, my player went back to normal when I reloaded stock Hijack onto it, and then selected a small playlist from the menu, put player into standby, powered off a few seconds later, and rebooted.



Fortunately, playlist amnesia went away the second time I loaded v417.

If yours persists in forgetting about it's playlist, then I'd suggest a wipe of the dynamic data partition should cure it; somewhat extreme, I know, but if it persists..



I'd hate to lose my EQ settings. Luckily, this wasn't necessery.

What did you try in hijack? Some sort of in-kernel stdio buffering?

Maybe we should look back into hacking the player binary. It's so
frustrating not being able to fix something very possibly caused
by one single #define. Otherwise we'll have to wait for july ....

Thanks anyway,
