Okay, I'm not sure if this is what it does every time (though I assume it does), this is the first time I was actually staring at it when it lost synchronization. It was moving along just fine, then suddenly the Empeg jumped to the "Building music databases..." screen, sat there for a while, then went through messages like "Loading visuals" and then to the "End of playlist" screen. At that point Emplode was not repainting its window as any well behaved Windows program should.

It almost seems like the problem is that the Empeg reboots half way through the synchronization. Though perhaps not a full re-boot, since I never saw the Empeg and penguin splash screen.

Maybe this behavior will be more meaningful to someone who's more familiar with the source code.


Oh, (re: a previous post) loading smaller amounts of data (such as only copying five albums or less) doesn't fix the problem, it only reduces the probability that it will happen.
