Ernst,
Displayserver seems like a valid way to go, since you'd already have a second computer to do emplode anyway (although this assumes a network). Then if you use winamp (or another player) to manage the party playlist you wouldn't need to disturb the playback while fiddling with the playlists. People could browse the pages (everyone knows how to do that) and pick what they like. The only difference would be that you'd use the line out from the PC instead of the lineouts from the empeg. I guess this wouldn't work if the PC were in another room though. Just a thought.
