Sorry for the delay, I just noticed this message. I answer "yes and no and Yes." Yes - if I click next or back, there's no delay. No - If I scroll to a group and click the artist (to bring up albums by this artist) there can be a slight delay (with screen time opening the sub folder nothing...

The only lag that I've experienced is a slight delay in album art. Recent firmware has improved this, but when scrolling it's still noticeable. I have over about 23,000 songs which are all mp3's.

Although there is no doubt that this app still has a long ways to improve and I mean A LOT ! in fairness... the "????????" is not the fault of the app. Some of your music is lacking the proper ID's. When I first got my Hiby R3, I had a lot of the "????????" too. I cleaned up the file names and...

@kingdixon The last suggestion I can offer will probably not be of much help. Initially, I had problems with my computer being able to recognize and read my drive. This was because I was using an old laptop that was Windows Vista. When I switched laptops and plugged my hiby r3 via usb to a...

Also, if you need to format your card, here's a site that may help. I haven't tried it, but it looks legit. https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/index.html

Earlier, you mentioned that it was "write protected.." I know that with standard size SD cards, there's a lever on the side that can be moved up or down. This is a toggle that means that if in one direction, you can't add or remove files (but only copy files from the card). This prevents...

I've so far yet to see any iphone person (including myself) that has been able to scan their files on their phone without it crashing. The weird part is that hibymusic had an update in December. Did it address the crashing issue? No. Actually, it became more difficult to achieve a bluetooth...

He isn't affiliated with Hiby. Because he has devoted some of his own time to make these modifications (and out of kindness) I don't think that it wouldn't seem right to tag him. I also use his modifications. It was one of the reasons that I purchased the Hiby R3 (Joe Bloggs participation in...

Thanks for the suggestions. Everything is working good now. I appreciate your responses.

Great news to read that there's a new firmware update. Due to not seeing a download file on Hiby's site, I tried something different (to me). I downloaded directly from my r3 (usually, I dowload and place on my SD card). After the direct download, I'm unsure how to proceed. Could someone...

When I first added files to my Hiby r3, I also had some "unknown" files. I can confirm that this is a result of mp3 files not being properly tagged. This can be easily fixed, but depending on how many "unknown" files you have, it can be time consuming. I should point out that this isn't the...

This is great and encouraging news! Also while I may sound a little critical toward Hiby, I want to express my appreciation for your educational and informative contributions. Your input here was one of the deciding factors of why I chose a Hiby product.

On their facebook forum, they 'claim' to have a firmware update in progress, but time will tell. I doubt it will contain a search function or anything. I like the standard R3 and am over all satisfied, but this company does seem to work toward promoting new(er) products before tweaking their...

I've read through the above suggestions and still having major problems with my iphone and the hibymusic app. ID tags are correct, album artwork is properly labeled. This all looks fine on the Hiby R3 unit and also looks fine on the default Iphone music player. However... when I prompt...

When I purchased the R3, the current firmware version was 3.2. Like you, I also have no interest in Tidal/Qobuz and use this strictly for access to the SD card. I've tried the 3.3 firmware and also downgraded to all available versions (in effort to find the best version) I am a big fan of...

Thanks very much for the quick and informative reply. Hope you don't mind, but I have a few questions MSEB in my opinion, is great! I have been using this on my R3 and never bother any longer with the equalizer option. I appreciate the above suggestion. I will change the settings. You...

Every time my iphone indicates an ap update, I keep thinking is it Hibymusic? I was happy to see that today, there was an update. From what I understand, android users get more benefit - due to the build of android and not the the hiby ap itself. My biggest disappointment was not getting...

I'm using the line-out option (no USB) and able to see under the Output selection a headphone icon and some other icon.

Got a quick question and hoping someone can help. I usually run my R3 with the line out (using line-in on my car stereo or the line-in on a home docking station). While going into the "play settings" to change gapless playback, I accidentally tapped the "output selection" and wow! I was able...

Welcome aboard. I got mine a couple of months ago. Perhaps because this has now been about for a while, you'll notice that there no longer seems to be a lot of traffic on this particular forum. The one nice surprise I found on here, is a firmware update that is shared by forum member Snoopy112...

I haven't had this problem, but my first thought would be to try a different charging cable. Hopefully, it's not anything major.

Perfect! That makes complete sense to me. Thanks for responding with an answer. It seems very logical, but I probably wouldn't have figured this out. Thanks again! In my previous response, I sure got a little heavy with the bold text. Guess who didn't have a good day today? I have to admit...

This isn't a function that I use, but I believe it was mentioned in their instruction manual. Here is a link to their PDF file. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1d7dt_tLJfNlNjqY34540SK2Fi2logRH0

If they advertised a maximum of 12 songs on their player, that would be their choice, and... it's your choice to decide if you want to buy one. Hiby advertises the R3 as having a 20,000 song maximum. This is something that we know before making the purchase. You chose to buy one. If there is...

Snoopy112's custom firmware works great! I would not have ordered the R3 if it wasn't for the Snoopy112 firmware. With his firmware, you are not limited to 20,000 songs. I have a 400 gb micro sd card and it works fine. In fact, even if I didn't have over 20.000 songs, I'd still use the custom...
