I use the remote to activate the search option. Then I have to press 'search' several times to get to the title or artist search field ... I got the impression from reading the manual that I should be able to reach those search fields by hotkeys on the remote
(numbers 2,3,5,6,9). But when I press "2" for an artist seach I get a "tweak order - no matching artist" error. What am I doing wrong?

Believing the manual . Seriously, this is a known bug in the manual; Rob describes it at http://empeg.comms.net/php/showthreaded.php?Board=wishlist&Number=36124

Also I can't seem to get the empeg connect to my pc via ethernet. USB is no problem but I get the impression it's downright sloooooow. (it actually took me more than 6 hours to fill a 10 gig HD, is this normal?)

---

I found USB less reliable, though when I moved from kernel 2.4.7 to 2.4.9-ac9, it seemed to improve (and I installed the hotplug package, which loads the right kernel modules when it sees the empeg).

I get about 600KB/s across Ethernet quite often, and when the office is empty, sometimes as much as 800 (approx 6½ Mb/s), which is pretty good for 10Mb/s Ethernet. I make that around 2GB/hr, which roughly agrees with your rate.

I added a second ethernet card to my sysyem. Gave it an IP adress. Connected directly to the card with a crossover cable. Still, the empeg does not show up

---

Did you configure your routing tables correctly? Has your empeg got a static address, or is it trying to get DHCP that you're not providing?

Mine goes straight into a wall port that's on the office switch (serial and USB directly to my main box, of course), so I can't be much help on direct Ethernet...

I've toyed around with it for a couple of hours now, and all I can say is WOW! It's everything I've expected it to be AND MORE.

I think you're preaching to the converted .

Congratulations, and welcome!
