EmpMenuX will auto discover any empegs on your local network and adds a Mac OS X NSMenuItem for each of them. Each of these menu items allows you to send basic commands to the empeg via hijack. If you allow the mouse cursor to hover over the menu item for a second you will see a tool tip with current artist and song information. EmpMenuX also allows you to scroll various pieces of information on the empeg's screen. See the Preferences to enable scrolling stock quotes, current temperature, and RSS headlines.

Any new empegs added to the network should show up within two minutes (and empegs that have been removed will go away within the same time period). The tool tips for song info are updated every 10 seconds so they may be a little out of date. The new empeg discovery period and how often information should be scrolled on the empeg screen are configurable in the preferences.
