I'm not sure if this was already mentioned, but I'm interested in the music navigation function, namely what does the artist category have? just music or assortment of albums?
The artist category has the artists....?
There is autonomous and manual music navagation.
For manual navigation/file adding /creation:
Basically, think of navigation like a root folder on your computer. Imagine having an empty flash drive. The empty first layer is the 'root'. But then from the root. You can slowly add folder's and name them whatever you want and place whatever songs you want into them. You can make sub folders within those as well. Think of it like navigating 'deeper' into your computer or root. This is how the X3 navigates in a sense.
You make, name, and categorize your folders personally. This means that it fits almost everyone. People here have talked about how they like to have playlists, or how their navigation is a bit different. Using this root folder navigation with you naming and formating everything allows you to be FULLY in control of which songs are where.
You can do this for both internal storage and TF card. Just add the folders in.
To see your manual folder creations. From the title menu, you go down to 'Browse Files'. From there, you have a choice of 'Local Disk' or TF Card'. Choose the one of which your files are located and bam! Your personally created, organized and whatever folders are there.
For auto organization:
HOWEVER, the X3 isnt just bare like that. There is also the classical organized groupings. This includes 'Play all' in where the X3 will display all songs you have in both local and TF storage, and another main folder on the initial root section called 'Category'. Inside category are 3 sections. 'Album' Genre and Artist. This is self explanatory on what is inside all of them. The selection pulls in music from both internal and TF card.
Play all, shows you all your songs in total. And the categories operate like how the iPod has the bottom sections. These are auto organized things. You don't personally take care of these. The system auto does. However you could change the artist name or whatever on the computer, and thus it will change.
Whilst in song:
Whilst you are playing a song. You can press and hold the 'back' button which will then bring up the info menu. The info menu has an information selection panel to show you all the juicy tech details of the song you are listening to. You can then also add it to your favorites(favorites are accessed from title menu). And also a quick access to EQ. Treble and Bass only. This is not a custom EQ for each song, rather it is a quick panel access to quick EQ'ing while you are listening to music, Below that, you have the option to delete the file, change the play mode(repeat, shuffle etc). And a back to title screen selection
