I am having trouble making playlists and the instructions on the Fiio forums aren't terribly helpful.  Could someone please just post an example of a working playlist for the x5iii?  Or just open a playlist they have that works in notepad and paste the first few lines into a post here?  I just want to see what the paths are supposed to look like.
 
The fiio forums say that the root drive paths are: /mnt/external_sd1 and /mnt/external_sd1
 
But does that mean the pathing should look like:
 
/mnt/external_sd1:ARTIST\ALBUM\FILE.FLAC
 
or
 
/mnt/external_sd1\ARTIST\ALBUM\FILE.FLAC
 
or
 
/mnt/external_sd1ARTIST\ALBUM\FILE.FLAC
 
or
 
[Drive letter of some sort]:/mnt/external_sd1\ARTIST\ALBUM\FILE.FLAC
 
 
or something entirely different?
 
The possibilities are endless, yet the Fiio instructions are so vague it's impossible to tell.

  I'm joining the party again but this time with my AMP3 discount (so £350) and in RED

   Fancy something totally different to the blacks/grey I normally go for. Also, think it might have been Spotify Offline device update delays that were giving me trouble before.
 
Its just gone up at AMP3 in last 10 minutes for the Red

So, when it arrives, just update to 1.1.1 not 1.1.2 ?? Or has a new one come out?

psikey , we will released the FW1.1.3 within this week if everything goes smoothly.

  Cr@p!!!
 
Tried to upgrade to 1.1.2.  Downloaded onto Windows box, copied to root of internal storage, local update, everything going well through 4x of 5x, and then:
 
"MCU Ugrade'
 
'MCU upgrade failed!'
 
Now just spinning.
 
What to do?  Shut down and retry?  Wait.....?  Other?

 
Please kindly reboot it , and "MCU upgrade failed "will be fixed in our next new firmware.

I also want to know how to write the root drive path

it is  /mnt/external_sd1/ARTIST/ALBUM/FILE.FLAC , and we did add a sample into our instruction.
