Congrats on your new toy!

Most of those bugs are "known bugs" in the beta and should be fixed on the next release (maybe even this week, woo!). If you wish to run a more stable version, use version 1.03 which is known to be very stable.

The thing with the Wendy flags is interesting, though, and I don't think it's been reported. Are you saying that you can't do the "Multi-apply" thing with Wendy flags the way you can do it with regular tag fields? If so, that's a very interesting thing, I never tried it. Roger, you reading this?

One major concern I've got is that you say you've done enough tag changes in Emplode to reach more than 500 tag changes. One of the long-standing caveats about this player is that it's much better to have your tags in order before dropping the files into Emplode. There's several reasons for it, which are all covered in various places in the FAQ. If you're looking for a Windows utility that does a good job of group-editing tags and file names, try MP3 Tag Studio.

In the meantime, give the FAQ a good skimming.
