Hey all,

I got an X5 a few weeks ago and am running two 200GB cards in it. Unfortunately (heresy warning), I purchased it largely to accommodate my rather outsize collection of (overwhelmingly) mp3s, which it does wonderfully, except that, above 30K files or so, updating the file library starts hanging, and the "All Files" menu craps out, which means that I lose the ability to shuffle the whole collection. I'm still able to listen to individual albums, because I maintained the folder structure of my files, but I'd like to be able to shuffle as well.  That ability was, honestly, one of the X5's biggest selling point for me.

I know that I'm squandering the X5's sound quality -- though let me tell you, when I do play a FLAC, this thing is glorious -- but could anyone give me a pointer as to how to shuffle the whole library other than just reducing the number of files?

Many thanks in advance!

Would creating folders A to Z and then putting each artist in their respective folder help. No idea really, but at least someone can comment on this.

You could always create a playlist of all your tracks then shuffle that

Try updating the fw.  Also, what brand card are you using?  Did you format it in the player?  Most playback issues span from an improperly formatted card or cards.

Thanks for the feedback, but I'm not sure it's gotten me anywhere.

For the record, I'm running the most up-to-date firmware available on the website, and I tried formatted the (brand new SanDisk) cards both in the player and on my laptop (the latter using FAT32). The latter actually seems to make them a little more stable, oddly enough, though maybe I'll try reformatting on the X5 again. The files are already arranged in a tree by letter of the alphabet, then artist, then album, so the browse function works just fine, just not shuffle. Creating a playlist won't work because the playlists stop functioning at the same point that the "All Files" list stops.

Thanks again -- and if anyone else has any ideas, I'd be thrilled to hear them!

Format them in the player.  I'm running the same cards in mine without issue.  Just updated the library for fun this past Sunday.  I browse by folder so I rarely ever update the library, but it updated just fine.  It acts like it is freezing at the managing/handling data screen, but it just took a few minutes because I have just as many files as you.  My advice would be to reflash the fw. reformat the cards in the player, and try again.  If that doesn't do it, then contact FiiO support.

 

[TyroneSlothrop]

Thanks, Fourrober. I'll give it another shot.

Hi, TyroneSlothrop
Did the X5 hang when updating the media library in the same number of the song or different one?
It is recommend to format the TF card to FAT32 for better compatibility.
And you can reset media library with no TF card in X5 first. And then update media library again to see whether it helps.

Hi, Wojtek2626
1. Could you tell us what TF card you are using for the X5? It is recommended to format to FAT32 for better compatibility.
2. Whether the headphone you use for the M3 have in-line remote controls fuction? If yes, could you please try another headphones to see whether the problem remains?

How come when I turn on the x5 ago 2 click?

  How come when I turn on the x5 ago 2 click?

Honestly, I can't remember what it is that makes the clicks, but it's normal from what I've read.  Mine does it as well as my X3II.
