Congratulations again on your new Empeg.

I get the feeling that JEmplode will only work with Ethernet, so make sure your Mac's got one of those ports. And unless you have an ethernet hub, you need to make sure that the cable you buy is a crossover cable so that the Empeg and the computer can see each other.

But after that, and after you install JEmplode (http://jempeg.sourceforge.net), you should be all set to go. The only thing that might trip you up is funny characters in the MP3 file names on your Mac. I've heard of folks trying to load files from macs onto the Empeg and having the software choke on certain characters. So just make sure to name your files with regular characters like letters, numbers, spaces, and hyphens. Leave out things like question marks and dollar signs, for example. (I don't know if JEmplode specifically will have trouble with these things, I just know that folks trying to copy files from Macs have had trouble in this area in the past.)
