    FiiO X5 1st gen: final firmware update version 2.6 now available--improved scroll wheel and playback reliability

    Quote   If I may make a suggestion that might help them figure out what the bug is, check to see if you have 10 of a specific file type and/or attribute. For example maybe it doesn't count WMA files correctly or something along those lines. I have some experience with software QA, so this...

    FiiO X5 1st gen: final firmware update version 2.6 now available--improved scroll wheel and playback reliability

    I, like many others, was hoping that the issue of having to scroll through thousands of tracks with no by letter scrolling would be fixed along with being able to browse by Album Artist.   It's also sad to see that FiiO is leaving some people hanging with the Linux drivers.   Love the...

    FiiO X5 firmware 2.4 download and discussion

    I myself don't know what the best solution to my problem is; I don't know that it's been discovered yet. That said, I'd take any amount of creativity that doesn't involve me having to create folder upon folder upon folder. More clicks to get to where I need to go is bad. Genres is a headache I...

    FiiO X5 firmware 2.4 download and discussion

    While you and I are clearly on the same page as far as not minding waiting for features to get fleshed out, I'm not convinced that we can expect the general paying public to take this same stance. Joe P. Consumer, whether reasonable or not, expects that new products being launched have the...

    FiiO X5 firmware 2.4 download and discussion

    Your solution, while nice, doesn't actually address the core problem, particularly for people with huge collections. I have my music extremely well organized, but even then, my A-C folder would be something like 250+ artists, each with some number of albums under them. Needless to say I have a...

    FiiO X5 preview world tour--tour members, claim your souvenir for the X5 tour! p.123

    @RobC My understanding from the discussion we were having a few pages back in the thread is that the ~7k song limit in the library is a permanent limitation related to the amount of RAM in the device. Very disappointing for me personally since I have easily 5-6x that much music, but it still...

    FiiO X5 preview world tour--tour members, claim your souvenir for the X5 tour! p.123

      Definitely not interested in spending $2.5k for a portable music player. Hell for that price I'd probably just buy 2-3 of the FiiO X5 and split my library accordingly. As for the 480GB iPod I just became aware of that when I was writing my previous post. Last I checked 240GB was the cap, so...

    FiiO X5 preview world tour--tour members, claim your souvenir for the X5 tour! p.123

    For those asking if I need to carry around all of my music, the answer is no, but the answer to do I need to carry around any of my music is the same. For me, it's very frustrating because the technology clearly exists, so I'm not sure why we have these artificial stops preventing us from doing...

    FiiO X5 preview world tour--tour members, claim your souvenir for the X5 tour! p.123

      That's really disappointing to hear (no pun intended) since I have been looking for a player that can support a large quantity of files for years and was hoping the X5 would be the perfect choice. I'm still going to get one since it still seems like the best option, but I'd definitely pay...
