OK good to know for comparison. I'm still using Win 8.1. But this month or next, I'll upgrade to a new PC with Win 11 simply for security purposes. I'll download your version of MB. For now I'll mess with what I have. Looking forward to letting you know how it goes!

Well, they were 700 when I bought it, so 300 is a heck of a good deal. And yeah, they're well worth it if you like that AKG open K-series sound. Hopefully you can try them out somewhere. I always have so much gear, that if I really like something, I can just sell a few other things I'm not...

Oh great! Definitely my favorite headphones of all time, and they are so cheap now. I'd love to buy their new K8 series, but it's like a million dollars so forget it. OK, excellent news on the Drag n' Drop. I guess that in the case of mix playlists, the order in which I drag each music file...

The reason I stayed with iTunes is simply the drag n' drop. I can drag n' drop files, or whole folders. I never figured out how to do that with MB, it seemed I always had to go through the (very) tedious old school Windows file tree. Is drag n' drop available for MB in any newer version? I...

This is why I love this website, because of conversations like this, ha ha. I have to start being more active here again. :) For Xbox and PC movies I (of course) use M50 headphones (Audio Technica). Nothing beats them and they are indestructible, which is crucial for poorly mixed films and...

Yeah, it's really amazing. I use it at home, with K712 and an old Glow Amp, their second series if I remember correctly, with the many improvements they made. I wish that phones came standard with a line out, that would be great. My phone is pretty decent, and I have Poweramp with all its...

Hey, excellent! Thanks again, I really truly appreciate this help. It's embarrassing how long I've had this iBasso without using it much. But phones just became so convenient, I was willing to sacrifice quality, which is truly unlike me. I guess the iBasso was just that difficult to use...

Hey, thanks again. Not exactly sure what you mean. Do you mean in Music Bee? Or the player... It's been a while, I gotta sit down and mess with this again, and see if I can make it fun to use. At the very least, for single album listens.

Hey Julien, I really appreciate that!!! :) I will definitely try it!

Yeah, wow, I didn't think about the artist thing. Basically, look: I don't want to be at the mercy of some other company deciding what I can and can't do with my purchases in my own place. I don't do PC gaming. (I have an Xbox which I use in winter when the weather sucks). But being a...

I checked into it yesterday, read all the features, etc. Bottom line is what I thought: to listen to even 320 mp3 takes a gig of data every 7 hours of music. Eek. So that would cost me extra. Plus it means you have to be online. Stuff you can "download" you don't download - you cache it to...

Wow. Weird. Seems natural to me to OWN my music collection, and have the backup files. And be able to listen offline. I'm not sure what Spotify is offering these days. But a friend of mine always has issues with it while traveling. Sometimes he can listen, oops, sometimes he can't. I'll...

So on the LG V series, which one's which? If I just want it for an audio player, which would you suggest? I don't need a camera, browser etc... that's a phone is for. I was thinking of going back to my HTC M7 and the OTG cable (still have two of the phones) paired with the Schiit DAC...

Oh, that sounds great. I had the old HTC M7, which was voted phone of the year for audio products. But it still had the standard headphone jack out, sadly. I tried using the USB OTG cable to run my amp, but had no luck with that. I could never get it to work through the DAC I had at the time...

I'm like you, I just naturally thought an Android DAP was a no-brainer. I mean, only 50 billion people have mobile phones using either Android or iOS to hear their music, right? So a DAP that uses Android, like iPod Touch that use iOS, well it seemed like there'd be thousands of them to choose...

Yes, I use iSyncr. iTunes on the PC, and Poweramp on the phone, which is AWESOOOOME. Would love to try Rocket Player, but I'm so happy with Poweramp 6 years running that I never bothered to try it. I read about that Android sampling limitation. The new Fiio player works around it too, but...

Hey, thanks for the tip. It looks amazing! But the price is way beyond what I'd like to spend. Perhaps it will come down in time, I hope. The Pioneer R300 is down to about $300, and my friend swears by it. However he doesn't use any apps beyond it's included player, so I don't know how well...

Bump. Nobody has an opinion on this? Am I posted in the wrong place? (First time on the new site).

Y'know, I have some old HTC One M7 units lying around, which as I understand have great audio circuitry. I wish there was some way to install a line-out jack... would solve my problem. I guess in a nutshell I'm looking for an Android phone that isn't a phone, but a music player, with a quality...

It's another year, and here we go again... I'm still trying to find a DAP I can enjoy working with. Year after year, I'm frustrated and disappointed. Hopefully, this is the year! I'm optimistic! I'm being positive! I need your help!! And I sure appreciate it. What I want to achieve is...

Hey TackyTiger, thanks for the post. I haven't tried Rockbox, because it's installation is way, way beyond my paygrade. Even the website is difficult for me to understand. Though I hear it's great. But I also heard it does nothing to address the Playlist issue. My goal is simply to have a...

Hey Solblack, Well, as it turns out, the Pioneer (and it's Onkyo counterpart) both have a lot of issues reported. Fudgy stability with Android being chief among them, and that's the last thing I want to deal with, especially at that price. So I'm looking into getting the Fiio X5 - 3rd Gen...

Well, I get that you need headphones that fit.  That's important.  The Backbeats fit me great, but for example, not as "perfect" as my AKGs.  But it's good enough that I can wear them literally all day with little need for a break.     However, as to what you said, I would definitely second...

You're the man! Thanks for the post. But $100 more? I'll wait for Amazon US to get it. (if it ever does... )
