For the second time in a row, when I tried to synchronize with Emplode, the process blew up with an error. Clearly, something is wrong here.

"Synchronize failed while writing player configuration. An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. (error 0x80072746)"

At least this time I was smart enough (thanks, Tony F.) to leave things alone until the player timed out and went back to RO on its own, so it boots up and runs properly. (Last time I had to do a manual fsck and manual database delete and rebuild to make it work.) And everything that was in the upload to the player seems to be in place.

I am running a dual 80-gig player with 2.0 final release software, HiJack v413, with 1704 playlists and 13,174 tunes.

Any ideas what might be causing this?
