does the player take a long time to start up, and display "Rebuilding music database..." on the screen at startup time?) that is in a state that JEmplode can't deal with. Are there any console messages from JEmplode?



No, the player doesn't say anything and there are no console messages. The empeg still play fine when hooked up to my stereo - surely this wouldn't be the case if the playlist was screwed up?...
