Every time I sync my player, everything seems to go well until I get to the "Retrieving database..." part. Then, it hangs mid-read. I have to stop the application from Windows Task Manager...

Anyone have any ideas?

Are you pushing buttons on your front panel when emplode is reporting this? It looks like this is now a background application, allowing the player to restart but doesn't give enough CPU for panel button executes.
When you push a button, CPU time is split which cause the database retrieval to eventually time out.
If you just let it go until it's done without trying to push anything, it seems to finish reliably.

Does this differ from your findings?

When this happens, and it happens every time now, I don't touch a thing. No front panel on the empeg buttons or anything within emplode...

Mine did this on the first sync after upgrading. It's been OK since.

I got the same behavior two times so far. I've synchronized more or less 10 times so far.

The same thing happens to me when in ' restaring player'.
This is on an MKI

I haven't had any luck with 2.0 at all on my XP machine, so I must try to use Win98
again to see if this works.
