Ok, I installed the V2 developer version, and ran "player -i" from the shell prompt. It did reset my playlist but did not fix my problem. Posted below is a what Hyperterminal captured when I advanced a few tracks, adjusted the volume up a little and then pulled the AC cord and restarted. It is still not writing correctly to the flash area. Is it possible that the flash save area is corrupt? Can I view it or erase it?
