Ok rebooted and exited shell prompt. Player now responds to buttons and it actually loads the software.

I was going to go ahead and load a few songs just to make sure all was well but it errored out when it tried to rebuild the database. I closed emplode. Should I run the 2.01 final once more? Do you think running the builder image will correct the database error in emplode?
One note...it still seems to run continuesly when applying power, no change in whine until power off. Steady hummm.... My friends Empeg is quiet until you hear the songs change.
I really appreciate you're devotion in helping me repair my Empeg.

EDIT: Ran Emplode once more with ethernet cbl and same results. Downloading failed while rebuilding database.
