Sorry been trying to get my password to work only to find out I had a different one.
Anyway thanks for the reply, I have used jEmplode in the past but not much lately since it seemed it wasn't updated anymore, perhaps it is now, and it was doing some weird things so I went back to Emplode.
As far as long bootup It doesn't seem any longer now than when it was new, it's fast. It does seem to take awhile to do a 'checking media' event after an upload of a 'few' songs. A 'rebuilding database' can be lengthy but it does complete within 6-8 minutes?
