Haven't been in this thread for more than 1 - 2 months, (50 or so pages :p). How are things going with the firmware :)?

I really don't have any issue with the button layout, once I changed from the silicon casing to a custom leather one. Having the buttons exposed makes it rather easy to navigate. But with them hidden? Not so much.

Only downside I've found myself is that the X3 tends to get hot after prolonged use when it is stored in the leather case and then in a pocket or similar.

I too have the same combo, but there is no advantage to setting the gain any higher, it would just make the volume very high.

If one were to use a higher gain setting with a somewhat sensitive can, would it somehow be possible to change the max volume to a lower number? (I really like the max volume feature :)).

I'll ensure that I have my folders in order :) But it seems can (I haven't tried it just yet) according to this quote and video:

Any benefit of having a consistent folder structure and fixing that with mp3 tagger at the same time? If so, how? Artist then another folder with Album?

How are they supposed to be tagged? What info should be there? Names? Tags? Folders?

It has only happened to me once, but since then I've come to include a pointy thing in my kit so that I always can reset the X3 if need be. I don't want to be without music when commuting again :p.

Found a "fioo" Tuff-Luv case on Ebay :p, hopefully I get it for roughly £11 (that is including shipping), otherwise I'll have to outright buy it which would set me back roughly £14 or £15, such astounding costs :p.

Regarding renaming/retagging files to ensure that I don't suffer from any crash/hang (I've had it hang on me one time, thus the reason for considering this procedure), what program would people recommend? I'm thinking about using mp3tagger, but I have no idea what I'm supposed to change, and how...

That looks awesome, thanks a lot, must have missed that post before. The exposed MicroSD slot looks to be the biggest downside with the case, but I'm definitely thinking about ordering one anyway, looks a lot better than the silicon case. Also the buttons are exposed, so that you are getting...

Pictures of the Fiio x3 in it :)?

Sweet, then I'll just add some music and then it's probably time to catch a buss, perfect time of arrival today :). I've tried mine thus far with my Logitech UE6000 and it sounds great :).

Nice, I also received mine with FW 2.1, thus no need to upgrade / change it :)? Also I can't seem to load your website, any issues there?
