Forget *FILE* management. How about a Jukebox manager? Songs that are requested are queued up. The empeg can then be hooked up directly into the pager system of the office, and voila!!!!

That would be a cool thing to implement as an external program using the Emplode protocols. You could distribute it as a client program to each of the workstations. Each workstation could insert one song at a time (using the emplode protocol's "insert" feature), and then would lock the user out of inserting anything for the next ten minutes or so (so no one would monopolize it).

A little work with password protection would need to be done to prevent someone from just running Emplode and taking over the player, but it's do-able.

Sounds like a fun idea for small offices.
