Thank you ... I'll explain a little more about my own situation. I have been using my Fiio X5 for a couple of years and just got the #1. I have 2 x 128 gig SD cards basically full of aiff files. I have yet to slot these into the #1. I want to understand the #1 a little better before I do this as it 'might' be a little risky. The Opus folks have told me that these FAT32 formatted and loaded cards "usually" work without a problem. 'Usually' being the operative word. No guarantees. So I've been experimenting solely with the #1's onboard memory. On the 'cards' end of things, all the aiff files have artist, album, genre embedded, but only a small percentage of album art ... for some unknown reason. At least that is what shows up on my Fiio. I've never really cared enough about the artwork to bother investigating.
I just did a search for kid3 and I can likely figure out how to work with it. The main problem is ... I'm in L.A., and the only access I have to all my 200 odd gig worth of files (other than a small amount on my laptop) is on the cards ... in my Fiio. Everything else is in Ottawa, Canada, on my iMac ... so working with kid3, and converting all of them using XLD is likely not an option for quite a while.
I take it you are talking about initializing the database on the #1? (DOH !! ) I have one file on the #1 at the moment. I did the 'DB initialize' thing and nothing changed as far as the file goes.
This is the very first exposure I've had with Android. I live in an Apple ecosystem, which is wonderful (for me at least, when it comes to making things super easy for us 'not so tech literate' folks), but it's not without it's downside when it comes to trying to integrate with the outside world
I hope this helps you understand. Sorry for the 'book' here, but it's the only way I can explain what's going on. I really appreciate your help on this. I'm wondering if this whole Android issue is going to be a show stopper for me. The Fiio I/F is horrid, to say the least, but I know it inside/out now. It's definitely a 'first world problem' I know
Thanks again ... fred
Just throwing in my 2 cents. I have DSD, FLAC, ALAC, MP3 files in my cards and I usually tag them with Tag&Rename software (portable). They're are all working well and all the artists, song titles, album names, album arts, etc. on them are displaying well on my opus#1. Haven't tried AIFF files though. I don't use that DB Initialize function in the settings menu. I just make sure the screen of the DAP is on whenever I insert the cards so that the library/database update starts immediately. You'll see the indicator on the status bar. Sometimes when I insert a card when the screen is off, the update won't start immediately that's why I played around a little and found this method. I hope you'll eventually figure out your way into working with the DAP.
