I don't see mention of open source here. It doesn't look like the page has changed much since I first saw it before the MK1 came out.

Empeg Ltd. would be be pretty worthless if it's software was open. The MK2 would have never come out since Sony, Pioneer, etc. would make something with the Empeg software much cheaper than Empeg Ltd ever could.

That's why the idea of writing 'our own', open source empeg player SW came up. We shall see whether we are able to put out time and knowledge where our mouths are .

BTW, I never had impression that guys@empeg intended to open the player SW. There was some talk, however, to have UI component written in Python (IIRC), open and therefore user-configurable. I think it just turned out to be too cumbersome and slow...

Yes, too bad for me. I got caught up reading the mp3mobile site after not visiting for a while.

The problem was that Python didn't work well with our multithreaded application.
