We're so close it hurts :)

The situation is that we've been doing compatibility testing with various car installs and have found we need to supply some in-line grounding leads (the empeg has floating ground outputs: most amplifiers have floating ground inputs. You need to ground the amplifier inputs to amplifier supply ground, hence the leads) which we're sorting out the manufacture of at the moment.

Yes, the website doesn't get updated every day - we don't have in-house web people - but we're most definitely not dead. If you hadn't noticed, myself, Rob and Mike (mac) have been answering questions and queries on this web board every time they appear, and we're still responsive to email :)

The autopc will play MP3's. Just. Depending on who you talk to, it can either only do them half-rate (22khz) or can just manage full rate with most of windows CE turned off as the CPU in the unit is not powerful enough to do real-time MP3 decoding. AutoPC 2 will play MP3s - this was demo'ed at the MP3 summit - but it's a whole PC, and doesn't fit in the dash. The prototype they showed was about 4-5x the size of an empeg and was just bare boards, not a production thing.
