Mike, any chance you can re-arrange the sequence of updating that takes place within the synch process? When emplode fails during the file transfers, it hasn't applied any playlist maintenance yet and takes all tediously entered details down the drain. If playlists in empeg were updated before the tricky file transfers, it would be much more simple to recover.

I've uploaded an emplode update to the interim updates section of the website that does this. I don't believe it will cause any problems but it may show strange diagnostics on the serial port if you play a playlist with non-existant items in it. You can get rid of them by synchronising again.
