Hmmm... I'm getting similar symptoms... I always have my player on when I run Emplode, but after updating songs, about 1 in 10 times the player does not automatically reboot - it either times out, or if I notice before that, I can physically unplug and replug the empeg and it continues where it left off.

It's never really bothered me, but I thought I'd mention it.

Oddly, I'm using Ethernet and Windows 2000...
