I just received my m20 a few days ago and i really love the build and audio quality.
I do have a few complaints about the UI and software though. I really hope that there will be continued software updates and support from AR.
Some problems i found:
- The AR app crashes occasionally while playing (cant pin point what exactly causes it though)
- Various songs are cut off prematurely (may be due to issues with the gapless playback)
Some suggestions to the software/UI
- Please list albums instead of all songs when artist is selected. It should prefereably be listed as such: All Songs, Album 1, Album 2, etc.
- To fully utilize the large screen available, an option to show the tagged lyrics would be awesome
- Always show the current song playing at the top when switching to the "now playing" tab
- Have an option to not reorder the "now playing" list even when shuffle is turned on
- Add player controls (play/pause, forward, backward, etc) on the lock screen since there are no physical buttons on the M20 for playback controls
I would also like to know if other external players are capable of making full use of the hardware on the M20.
A player which AR could learn from is the gonemad player. It caters for a lot of settings to personalize it to your own needs. I have since downloaded it on my M20 and have been using it for a few hours. I have not been using it long enough to make a comparison to the stock AR player so it would be great if anyone can confirm that it is indeed making full use of the hardware in M20 or not.
