Just managed to grab it, thanks! Last night I was getting a 404 error message. Wierd! The "flakeyness" I've experienced consists of: Syncs failing with "media check failed" messages. i.e. nothing gets loaded across. The only way to sync successfully way to remove power from the empeg (even though jempeg had performed a soft boot that wasn't enough) and restart jempeg. The GUI hanging or going REALLY slowly. This would mainly happen after a sync (I took to restarting everything after every sync), but I had it happen a couple of times before a sync. Seemed to be caused by switching to another application and then back - OmniWeb if I remember correctly, but I can check it for you. Had to be real patient waiting for the sync button to come up so that I could save my changes. Sometimes the whole jempeg window would go completely grey, or wouldn't update, and I would have to switch to another program and then back to get the screen updated - the GUI would still be sluggish, but at least I could see where to make the next click :-) Would sometimes block the whole machine! That's as good as I can remember it this morning anyway. Would be happy to test it further for you. I think doing a drag and drop operation may have triggered the GUI funnyness before a sync. Hmmm. Is still GREAT being able to load stuff across on my Mac. I can stoop to using a Windoze box at work to tidy up tags and playlists (was too annoying in jempeg last night). Oh, one other thing I noticed, genres are often comming across strange (numbers in brackets instead of tags) and I have been getting -1 for the year quite often too. Maybe I should fix the tags in iTunes first and see how it behaves then ... Anyway, thanks again for the quick response :-)
