Thanks a lot! Regarding the inline buttons in the headphone cord: these react a bit unpredictable. Sometimes pressing twice make it pause. Pressing 3x sometimes jumps forward, sometimes back. I haven't been able to discover a pattern, e.g. that pressing quickly works better, or pressing slow...

I have the X3-iii since 1 week and am very pleased with the sound quality and versatile usability. The player should be able to play M3U files - however it does not. The M3U files are shown in the "browse files" menu; the titles of the tracks (that the M3U refer to) are also shown, but are not...

Thanks for reacting promptly. I wonder if hardware is needed inside the player. You may want to look in the CTIA standard. In summary: every button activates its own resistance level (in ohms). It would be sufficient if the player detects these levels and takes the corresponding action back...

Great and well-elaborated review - thanks a lot! A few follow-on questions: 1) Does it play playlist files (e.g. M3U? 2) is it possible to delete the song that is playing (i.e. without going into folder view)? 3) can it be controlled via headphone buttons (back, play/pause, fwd) Thanks, Herman

I have one and find it so-so. A big minus for me is, that it does not play WMA files. It has no library functions, only folder play - it comes down to personal preference if that is a minus. The combined buttons are definitely a minus for me: the Z3 does not have separate volume buttons, which...

Thanks, that makes sense.

Thanks; very helpful! Regarding "delete files one at a time", can i delete the track that I am listening, or should I go back and foirth in the menu via an explorer-like track list? The first I can handle safely on my bike (it may be a sequence of a few key strokes); the latter rather not.

Some questions before making my choice for a new player: The vendors' website still state that WMA is not supported yet "WMA 48kHz to be supported by future firmware" - is that still true? I have a lot of WMA's at 320 kbps. I read in a review "Scroll wheel responds to the whiff of the wind". Can...

Thanks. A few questions on this player: 1) Is it possible to delete songs while playing? 2) Does it support M3U playlists? 3) Does it respond to headphone buttons fwd/paly/pause/back (CTIA standard)?

On the Cayin N3: Does anybody know which are the physical buttons at the side? I never use tochscreen because I use the player while biking. I also like to be able to delete a file that I am listening, but it seems the N3 cannot do that.

Thanks, Larry and Ivan. Time to ask full refund. Next time I'll want to check such things in advance - where can this info be found? I saw not a log but a RAR of v 0.3 on https://www.mediafire.com/file/0q5566cux12ng6f/ZiShan_Z2_0.3.rar; however am reluctant to downlaod firmwarde from a site I...

My Z3 player does noet play WMA format, even though that is announced in the product description. I tried different bitrates from 192 to 320; none of them works. Did any of you manage to play WMA files? Thanks, Herman

GREAT, works OK as you described. Thanks for your very timely answer - saves me a lot of time! Cheers, Herman

Does anybody have a descrption on how to move from Chinese to English menu? Yhanks!

Has anybody tried if the player can be controlled via the back - play/pause - fwd buttons of a wired headphone (CTIA standard, as often used with mobile phones)? This would make it much easier to control the player when I'm biking. Thanks, Herman
