thanks, i'll try it tonight.

one thing that has always confused me is the idea of a playlist. if i choose playlists, i then see an alphabetic list of each artist. i choose the artist, then i pick an album, then i see a list of the songs. what exactly constitutes a playlist? the way i get my songs to the empeg is to go into windows explorer, select all my folders (which are organized into a folder called mp3's then subfolders for each artist, which each contain subfolders for each album) and drag n drop onto the word 'playlist' in emplode. does this mean that every artist is a playlist, or every album?

one other thing...after 58 posts and almost 5 years of posting in here, i'm still a 'stranger'...what does it take to be recognized...?
