I am currently showing 37,060 songs in my library. I haven't had any issues yet, but I'm still fairly new to this device. I can shuffle by genre and it seems to see all of the items in each. No lag to speak of between songs on shuffle, either.

Is there a way to remove extra Genres in the database that I'm not using? I'm not sure where they came from, but I only use about 12 different genres total and there are several that I never use that are showing up, but empty. The issue with the apostrophe seems to have cleared itself up after I...

So I'm noticing that song titles containing an apostrophe are rendered with several special characters. Is there a way around this? I've upgraded the firmware and have the same issue. Also, I would live to be able to see the count of songs, albums and artists in the database. I'm thinking of...

I love Amazon next day delivery. I have the Opus in hand already! Getting my files ready for the SD cards. Seanwee....yes, that was really frustrating. I loved the sound and design of the N5, but in the end, I had to rig up the charging cable with a rubber band and small post-it note pad to...

Thanks for the great information on this thread. I just placed an order for the Opus #1s as a replacement for my Cayin N5, which is giving me fits trying to charge it. I also look forward to a library database without a 15,000 song cap! (I have 37K songs in my library, so those limits can make...

Yeah, it almost looks that way. I'm surprised a little myself. I'll be monitoring it, of course. Thanks for everyone's replies and advice.

So, moment of truth...The USB 3.0 cable finally arrived today. It actually fits extremely loose in the port, so if I move it too much, the cable just falls out. Which is odd. I bought an Amazon Basics cable. What's even more strange is that the N5 started charging immediately, with no...

The 3.0 cable is the one I'm waiting for from Amazon. I don't own another one, at the moment. My first thought after deciding it wasn't the battery was the connection. This is a new problem and not one I've had in the past, which would lead me to believe that something came loose. I didn't...

Thanks! After about 8 hours of usage, I'm still left with about 38% charge, so the battery is definitely capable of holding a charge. Now all that's left is to wait on that cable. (This is the last time I choose the "Ship all items in one shipment" option from Amazon!)

This first photo shows the screw at the bottom of the N5 and also the USB port. I took this photo prior to opening up the N5. This photo shows the two halves of the case, attached by the battery wires. This photo is a close-up of the USB port and the wire connections. It is slightly...

So to continue the story...I managed to find which place to gently tap on the cable to get the N5 charging again. If you're holding the N5 face up and tap the right side of the cable very lightly, it starts to charge. I managed to get it up to 100% today. I stopped on the way home and...

I appreciate the reply, Andy and that makes a lot of sense about the battery shipments. After my last post, I decided for giggles to plug the N5 into my computer USB again. It did the same on/off cycle as before with no flashing light. I picked it up and the light started flashing. So I set...

I will wait and see what Andy says...there's a tiny star-shaped screw in the bottom of the unit, but I don't have a screwdriver that shape or that small. I also noticed another thing that's happening. Now, If I plug the usb cable into the N5 and into a computer or power supply, the orange...

I was afraid that might be the case. I'd need to send it in for that, right? In the meantime, I've been looking at possible replacements (Shanling M2s and iBasso DX80, perhaps). But if battery replacement is not expensive or even something I could do myself, that would be a better option for...

Thanks for your response...I had it plugged in for several hours. I've tried the computer USB port and the wall plug. Same result for both. *Edit to say several hours of charging for each method, wall plus/computer USB.
