That might be one of the very few reasons that I would switch to Android. I'm not sure, however, how much of the empeg you would want to keep. The tactile UI is obsolete, since we're pretty much stuck with whatever the car gives you over bluetooth. The database with FIDs, etc... would probably have to go too, since I'm sure Android has its own way of storing music already.

So we're pretty much just left with the player app and the visual UI. I would think the place to start would be to find an open source audio player app, and then tweak it to add the features that we love on the empeg.
