I'm in the middle of a big project where I'm wiping out the songs from the empeg disk drive and replacing them en masse with higher bitrate copies.

I want to save the data currently on the dynamic data partition that contains my EQ presets and Tuner presets, so a complete Builder-Image run is something I would like to avoid.

I could just delete the existing songs and put the new songs onto the player. But if I recall correctly, there is still a bug where things like the "plays" count are still there, stored on a per-FID basis, after you delete a song. So when I replace all the songs, the plays counts will be incorrect for each of the songs (since the FIDs will change).

One option would be to hand-select each song and do "replace tune" to preserve the FID number, but I don't want to do that 3500 times.

I don't mind wiping all of the "plays" counts to zero and starting over, but I don't want to have wrong "plays" counts for the songs.

Does anyone have any ideas about how to easily erase the song statistics from the dynamic data partition without erasing the other data stored there? For instance, I could back it up to a file using the instructions in the FAQ, then copy that file to my PC, edit it with UltraEdit, and copy it back to the empeg. I just would need to know what range of bytes to edit (and could I get away with just zeroing them out?).
