That certainly sounds bizarre. I get the same problem with some tracks (mostly off Ghost in the Machine by The Police which is spooky). A given track will just pause and the empeg will freeze up. To resolve it I have to yank it out and then push back in, trying to hit the next button just as the track tries to continue to play. I've found that if I leave it then it will seem to resolve itself by moving onto the next track after a couple of minutes (which sounds like something built into the software to me). I think this is down to the way that it's encoded (I didn't do it I hasten to add - although I probably shouldn't admit that
). If yours is happening randomly and on tracks that used to be fine then it does suggest you have more of a problem. Have you mailed empeg themselves about this?
