Truly amazing work!! I think FiiO should seriously consider to hire you at least you seem to have way better UX skills than their own designers... I really appreciate it when people put functionality BEFORE aesthetics!   Irrespectively of the magnificence of your theme I dare to express...

  seems this issue just got fixed in the newest X5 FW (2.34 Beta), we just have to wait for it being ported to the X3...

  The earlier limit was actually 1024x1024 pixels which got raised for .jpg files in FW 3.0. But there are still issues with cover art support. I summarized them in a comment for bug #11 (limited support for cover art): 1) JPEG Files with 4-letter filename suffix (.jpeg) are still not...

I totally feel ya! Already tried to point that out a few months ago but I guess it didn't help that much...

Not very polite but still amusing your word choice... XD   I don't think they don't care (otherwise they would not have reworked the whole UI with FW 3.0 I guess). I'm rather afraid that their designers/developers simply don't know any better. Building a 2-dimensional Win8-style UI for a...

  1. As TrollDragon mentioned, a screw*** load of people already did comment on it actually. Because it's pretty annoying to read about the same issues over and over again Joe from FiiO set up a bugtracker. Open an account there and vote for this issue to be solved: Bug 6 – navigate back through...

Woooooohoo!!! Great times seem to lie ahead...   @Joe Bloggs: Just one question: Those new functionalities will be added to X3's firmware later, too, right?

Increase the amount of votes for "Bug 52 – Toggle between Artwork and Lyrics display easily" so FiiO might become convinced to bring this little option back

  Open a bugzilla account and increase the number of votes for "Bug 6 – navigate back through file tree from 'Now Playing' screen | navigation type forgotten after power off" by another 3 votes

  No, this is not possible with FW 3.0. I (as well as many other users) hope there will be "play all" options in future FW versions to be able to play all songs of a certain artist (as well as all songs of a certain genre). You could vote for the according feature request in bugzilla (Bug 2 –...

  Yes, of course it is a design decision. But a pretty bad and ugly one in my eyes. Obviously the designers wanted the track info and progress bar on the bottom of the screen to be transparently overlayed on the album art. Considering the aspect ratio of the whole display there are only two...

  You're welcome! No, you don't have to download anything. Just open a new account in FiiO's bugzilla page. After that you will be able to comment and vote for existing bugs (as well as to submit new bug reports). There are two limitations in voting though: Each user has 25 votes in total and...

  1. & 3.: vote for Bug 6 – navigate back through file tree from 'Now Playing' screen | navigation type forgotten after power off   2.: vote for Bug 176 – playback across multiple folders/category entries and optionally for Bug 106 – Disc id not recognized (double album)

I've already submitted this in bugzilla as bug #174: system freeze when playing songs with certain album art image files   Description:   When trying to play a song with an (external or internal) album art file in the PNG format of a rather big filesize (> 1 MiB) the song starts to play for...

  I hope so, too! But to underline its importance to us we could vote for bug #106 ("Disc id not recognized (double album)")       same advice applies to this issue: If you didn't do so already, vote for bug #119 (Album art not being resized properly)!

Awesome, Joe!

  Wow, it is pretty exciting to see that (some) playlist support is finally gonna be developed!   What you outlined remembers me pretty much of what I suggested in bug #47 for the X3 (except you didn't include options to delete or edit playlists (delete single tracks, rearrange order) and to...

The corresponding entry in bugzilla is bug #52, you could vote for it to underline your wish   Until now there's no bug filed concerning this specific issue (there's only one regarding the readability of the track information). Maybe you feel like submitting a new bug report for this  ...

  May I ask if this improvement will be included in the next FW update for X5's lovely little sister "X3", too?

  Understood. If it happens again, it would be helpful if you could identify the affected tracks and maybe the characteristics that make them different from the rest. Then file a bug report in bugzilla. If you're not gonna be able to tell what about the affected files makes the player freeze...

  Do you really mean "freeze"? Or is it just that playback stopped?     This is indeed a buzzkill! I think the according bug report in bugzilla deserves a lot more attention (i.e. votes) : Bug #176 (playback across multiple folders/category entries)     Nope, at least it doesn't...

  Ok, got your point. But you have to admit your demands would be satisfied with the possibility to create playlists directly on the player and being able to add whole albums to those playlists, right?   I'm pretty sure there's not much of a difference in the development effort between the...

  Wouldn't you prefer a proper in-player playlist support like I requested in Bug #47? This would be far more powerful and could easily be extended by a feature to add whole albums (as well as whole artists, genres or folders). A user named "defguy" already requested the possibility to add...

  Yes it is! See bug #46 (M3U playlist support) for the support of M3U playlist files in general and bug #47 (advanced playlist support: ability to create and edit playlists on the go (saved as .m3u)) for an extended in-player support for creation and editing of M3U playlists. Of course the...

  No, please don't remove votes for confirmed bugs! The status "CONFIRMED" doesn't say nothing about whether or not the developers work on a bug (or if it will be fixed in the future at all). Only bugs with the status "IN_PROGRESS" are affirmed to being worked on!
