Secondly, I don't think song order is as arbitrary as some people think. I have a feeling that a lot of groups are very interested in what order their songs are ordered on a CD.

For certain albums, yeah. I wouldn't imagine listening to Power Windows or Moving Pictures in anything but their original order. But for some albums (Signals, for example), I couldn't care less what order they're in. Pink Floyd albums are hard-coded to be in a certain order, of course...

If I really want to listen to a favorite album, I like to listen to it in the order it is on the CD. Call me old fashioned!

One thing that the Empeg does is change the way you listen to your music. It's designed around being able to hear your entire collection shuffled (although you can listen sequentially, too, or shuffle just one album like a CD player if you want). I used to think that it would be sacrelige to listen to one song from Moving Pictures without listening to the entire album sequentially. Now I'm not so anal about it.
