I think I fixed the problem. In the media bar in IE 6.0 you can select the "Media Optioms". I turned off the "play web media in the bar" setting. I think by doing this it just throws the content out to the application that the extention is registered to. I can't test with my EMPEG right now as I am doing a sync but it now works with mp3.com which also uses M3U files(plays via Winamp instead of IE/Media Player) so I am sure it will work fine with the EMPEG. Thanks!
