I had a ton of problems with synchronization with Emplode when using V3 alpha (lots of broken databases), and since I didn't need FLAC I stuck with version 2.

Can you tell if the code in BlueGigaEmpeg is working well with version 3 alpha on your systems? Since it depends only on the messages which come out on the empeg serial port, if those messages are unchanged in V3 Alpha, then it should work fine.

The strings it triggers on at various points are:

Detecting that the empeg unit is starting up and hasn't launched the player yet:
Code:
empeg-car bootstrap
Uncompressing Linux
ide_data_test


Detecting the player has started:
Code:
Prolux 4 empeg car


Detecting a status message or track metadata message:
Code:
@@
(followed by a space and then one of 'N', 'Z', 'D', 'T', 'A', 'G', 'S', '#', 'R')


If those strings are unchanged in V3 alpha then in theory it should work fine.
