Roger, I am about to send the information (been too busy, unfortunately) but I wanted to let you know that last night I had the problem and another problem. It could not find the EMPEG via ethernet at all after it failed the synch. Then this morning when I put it in the car the EMPEG displayed Rebuilding Music Databases... for awhile, then played normally.

Now I am at work and I just plugged it in and it gave me the Rebuilding Music Databases... It did not last as long but this has not happened before.
