So out of nowhere (kind of), my computers stopped recognising my NW-A55. It was actually gradual on my new Acer. If you tried different usb ports it would eventually work in one. Now it doesn't work in any. So I tried my old HP and it doesn't work on that either. There's no explanation for it...

Thanks guys. I had no idea about needing a folder labelled 'music'. All sorted now. That's hectic that it needs to create the library every time u turn it on. It took a good hour to do mine, i reckon. I'm gonna try leaving it on permanently too. nc8000, I only did one install and do indeed get...

^Sadly, not quite figured it out. After it finished compiling the library none of my music is showing. I go to the library and when I select any of the folders (genre, artist, album etc.) it says there are no songs available for playback. In the settings it says my card is mounted. Looks like...

Ok everybody, I'm terribly sorry to waste your time, but it seems that MrWalkman's reply might've pointed me in the right direction and made me realise what the problem here is. So the player was second hand. And it did already have music on it. And it was in an Asian language (probably not even...

But everything related to those files is in English. It all shows up in English anywhere else I use it. Also, there appears to still be files on the device, and they're all in Japanese too. I have 256gb worth of music on that card, so editing the tags is not an option.

Ok, so all the navigation menus and everything are in English. The only things that are in Japanese are all the music details. So artist, album, genre etc. Anything related to browsing your music is in Japanese. I have a micro SD full of music and when I put it in it all shows up in Japanese...

I installed WalkmanOne. It didn't make any differences to the language display. It's all still just English but then Japanese for all the actual music stuff. Both language settings are set to English. That Rockbox stuff is way over my head. I tried it, following the instructions here...

Ok. Thankyou. I might try the latter. Sounds simpler. I had rockbox on my old xduoo x3. It was great. So that's a good option too. Cheers

Ok. Thanks very much. Hopefully I'll be able to figure it out. Which one do you think would be the better option and which one is easier to install?

^so does that mean there's nothing i can do about it?

I got my A-55 today, from Ali Express. When I was looking around I noticed u could get Japanese players, but apparently you can't change the language on them. So I made sure the seller I chose didn't say anything about Japanese, and they also had feedback from around the world that didn't say...

Thanks hoofman and nc8000. I think I will buy one then.

Hey folks, I have been using an Xduoo X3 for some years now, and I've finally had enough of it playing up on me and am thus looking to replace it. After a little research I'm looking to get the NW-A55. I have a 256gb micro SD card in my Xduoo which I would be planning to use in the Sony, and my...

Cheers lads. I have used the card in question and indeed the player did not acknowledge the rockbox folder.

I just got an x3 ii. Haven't used it yet, but wanted to ask...I've still got my x3 and plan to keep using it. So one of my sd cards has the rockbox file for the x3 on it. If I put that in the x3 ii, will that cause any issues, or will it just ignore the file? I'm not familiar with how that...

Mine's never frozen or given me any kind of grief. Only issue is that I walk on the beach a lot with it, and well, u can imagine what it's like trying to read the screen on a sunny day.

Ok, thanks. I saw that x3ii while I was googling. Looks nice. I really have no reason to upgrade aside from the Bluetooth thing, so I'll leave it for now. Would definitely be where I'd go for an upgrade though. The x3 has been great.

Can anybody tell me if I can connect my xduoo x3 using Bluetooth? I've actually never used Bluetooth before, for anything, so I know very little about it. I couldn't find out if the xduoo was Bluetooth compatible online, and I couldn't search this forum cos my phone can't handle it. Was a big...

Slaterlovesspam, that's an awesome case you've created there. If you're interested in trading for my recycled ipod case, please, don't hesitate to ask :smirk:. haha

Haha, I don't even remember where I got my metal clip from. I think at first I had a plastic clip glued to the back of the case. That probably didn't last long, ha!

I was just glad I didn't have to buy anything new or make something from scratch, haha. I need something with a clip for my purposes.

I made some rough modifications to my already roughly modified (I put the clip on when I first got it maybe about 10 odd years ago) roughed up old ipod classic case. It looks like hell, but hey, it does the job. Quite well actually. And I didn't have to pay any additional funds for it. Plus I...

I could live without gapless cos I was used to it with my iPod. I feel as if my iPod actually was gapless but at some point it randomly stopped being gapless, haha. That thing had all kinds of issues. But the first second odd cutoff on every track (yes it was every track) was too much. Now...

Haha, nice one mate. I'm about 5 minutes away from giving it my first listen with gapless playback. After hearing it you'd know how beneficial the gapless will be.

Yeah I saw the posts about the 256gb cards. That'd be wild. Things aren't cheap though. And I'd have no other use for my 128gb card (soon to be plural) if I got a 256 or 2. Two 128gb cards is more than enough for me anyway. I actually don't even use lossless files or anything. All my music is...
