1. emplode and jemplode don't seem to play nice together. If you pick one and stick with it, you'll seem to be fine, but switching back and forth seems "bad" for some reason. I usually find that if I go back to emplode and change one track and resync, everything will get rebuilt properly. Probably just delete a track, sync, reupload the track, and sync again.
  2. Are you really, really sure you've got the power lines wired properly? It sounds exactly like you don't.
  3. Nope. I find that if you have good reflexes, you can stop pressing the scan button just as it starts to move and you can go one frequency at a time, but that's irritating at best.
  4. You can switch between visuals and normal displays by holding the down button for a second or two. Can you put the display in one-line mode (I forget what it's called now) when on the tuner? I don't know what it displays if you can do that, but it might be helpful. There aren't any more visuals than what are built into the empeg. I don't remember if there's an unadorned clock one.
  5. I think the radio will display the time as broadcast from the radio station. Usually the radio station is too lazy to set their clock properly, if they even broadcast it at all, so good luck with that. I don't think that there's a way to show the empeg's internal clock on the normal radio display. And you could wear a watch.
