It was the night before Xmas,
and all through the house,
not a creature was stirring..
..except for the [censored] at empeg towers coming in the rear in standard alpha release formation!
Usual disclaimers apply!

(Somehow I guess that it will be.)

Rio Car Alpha Release 24-Dec-2003
Version 3.00-alpha5
Copyright (c) Digital Networks North America, Inc. 2003
PLEASE NOTE
This is a hybrid release, containing player software v3.00-alpha5 and
Emplode/Emptool v3.00-alpha1. Don't ask why :-)
This is the Very Merry Christmas 2003 release, which would have been a
public beta except for known issues with content transfer via emplode,
and lack of Mark 1 support. For this reason the release is a another
public alpha.
Do not load this release onto your player unless you are prepared for
everything to go horribly wrong. As the release notes state, this is
an alpha release and may not be stable. It could spoil your Christmas
in any number of ways!
If you're feeling lucky, load up the release notes and follow the
instructions carefully.
Merry Christmas!

This is probably a good place to remind many and inform some of my fellow recent empeg owners of this. Of course, first you'll need to install the Hijack kernel (look up young man).
Oh, and wget 'wget -r http://www.empeg.com/v3alpha' is in the web section of the cygwin setup, not net.)

In reply to:

You know how when you're at a restaurant and the food always arrives while you're away from the table? I knew there was a reason I left the empeg in the car this morning after coming back from Starbucks.

Yup. By me in fact. But I didn't remember to try it, and my work wasn't done. Looks like it is now.

I don't have a crossed ethernet cable either, and no hub/switch. I'm at my parents' house, and you're all very kind all the same. Great to know about upgrader, which I did not notice on the board before.
I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow.
Merry merry Christmas empeg people!

Many MANY thanks for the early X-Mas present, Rob.
Question for everyone though.... anyone but me having trouble with this? I can get it to load, but it REFUSES to build databases on my deck. Even went in and removed them manually and tried a rebuild, but no go.
Also, notes say to use the new Emplode. I would, but I see no updater included in the zip...?

Same problem. You have Hijack on it, out of curiousity? Have you fidsifted? I'm playing with some things now to see if I can figure out what's going on.
All the music is still there.

For the databases, just sync once with emplode after doing the upgrade -- this should fix them. (worked for v3alpha3, anyways).

Yes, V347. Tried both with and without. I had the same problem in both cases.
Have you fidsifted?
No, I haven't.
Only thing I've noticed right off is that when it reboots, it shows "Building databases" for about 1 second, then just continues on without doing anything. Happens with both Developer and Consumer images.

Mark, showing my chin fuzz here... 
When I connect with emplode, it shows nothing for playlists, etc. Will emplode not try to make that true during a sync? As in remove a metric [expletive removed] of music?
Sorry if that's a dumb question, but I didn't do anything with the first alpha really...

Mmm... all of the music should show up in Emplode to begin with (and it cannot delete what it doesn't know about..).
Ensure you are using a very up-to-date emplode, as per the instructions in the readme and release notes.
I'm just fetching my own player + dock right now to try this release.
Cheers

you have to sync with the older emplode or jemplode47 first (builds the database correctly), then use v2.1 from then on.
