Isn't there a way to send the player a serial command that tells it to play a specific FID? (I could be wrong?)

emplode does manage to make the player start playing a FID of choice... Regreettably, the feature is not in open-sourced emptool :-( It is conceivable, though, to translate tune/playlist choice into sequence of menu commands (based on CVS dump and taking into account alphabetic playlist ordering).
