I think using musicmatch breaks ff/rw on the empeg though. :-(

No, using Variable Bit Rate encoding is what breaks FF/RW. It's not Musicmatch's fault, it's the empeg's fault. This bug will be fixed on the empeg with the next software release.

Variable Bit Rate encoding is a good thing, don't let the FF/RW bug scare you away from VBR.
