	Empeg File Structures \| differentpla.net
		If you've only got a single-drive empeg, the second /drive1/fids directory isn't used (this is fairly obvious -- it refers to a disk that isn't there).

		To avoid this problem, Rio Music Manager introduces the concept of a unique ID which can be calculated from the audio data.

	Welcome to AnandTech.com [ Article: MP3 meets Car Audio: Empeg Mark II in-dash Car MP3 Player]
		The empeg’s faceplates scratch entirely too easily and in their current form lack any sort of anti-reflective coat. Empeg is aware of the latter, it’s just a matter of time before they address the issue.
		The empeg is unmatched in terms of features, no other player currently available allows for the searching capabilities of the Mk.2 in addition to the rest of the features that make the unit worth its incredible price tag.
		Empeg needs to work towards producing a more cost effective entry level product in order to keep their name in the eyes of the consumer.

		It then became a weekend car, and I emptied my bank account into it, with new suspension, paint, brakes, exhaust, intake system, glass, trim, carpets, stereo, and the piece de resistance, a polished and ported European version 24 valve Maserati Ghibli engine with a Getrag 5 speed transmission.
		The car was waiting in the shop for several weeks while they refused to return phone calls, then shipped the wrong system all the way across the country and back.
		They were having a blow out sale on the Empegs though, so I took advantage of their misfortune and bought another one.

		The Rio Central rips CDs to the hard disk using its integrated CD-RW drive, and looks up album and artist info in an embedded Gracenote CDDB database (if there is a miss on the local database, the device can look up more current info in an online CDDB database).
		According to Jeff Hastings, VP of engineering for SONICblue, the Rio Central's embedded software is derived from that of the Rio (formerly empeg) car player, which was developed from an early version of the Debian/ARM port with the addition of Russell King and Nico Pitre's kernel patches.
		The original empeg car player developer, Hugo Fiennes, had already ported it to an ARM platform.
