Loaded a few songs on my Empeg using JEmplode and before the operation completed, it crashed. The music upload was complete and I think it was rebuilding the databases. Anyway, no everytime I reboot the player it has to rebuild the databases again. Emplode not JEmplode can do a sync at this point. Both programs crash before opening the player at all. Emplode gets as far as to tell me that it is rebuilding databases and then while it's "waiting" it crashes. meanwhile the player continues to rebuild and eventually begins working.

Your answer is here.

Ahhh yes...... FAQ. Damn, I've been here long enough to know better!
