Does anybody still wonder why I just want peacefully to use Bluetooth BLE? To have my music transferred directly from sd cards in the 2go to the hugo with no WiFi being used?

I feel your pain. I'm in the same boat here. The other thing regarding playlists I found out is that GoFigure won't read names with special characters. That is really problematic with a lot of Classical music.
So the list of bugs grows on my end.
A) shuffle button bug
B) special characters bug
And of course the monumental failure of it dropping ble connection with my android phone.

I absolutely hear you on the special characters. That was the main reason I chose not to use the id3 tag data for the playlist names but to use the already-existing filenames on the sd card in the first place. In that way I hoped to avoid special character problems with filenames.

The method ran into similar problems to yourself because gofigure uses Unix pathnames when it interprets the playlists. At the beginning I did not realise this. Characters which are not special in DOS filenames can be special in Unix filenames. The slash (/) being an obvious example.

The bulk of my playlists converted successfully but I'm still finding the odd one that won't play and having to fix it by hand.

Seems as if I should have installed a Unix emulator on my windows pc and written the scripts in C-shell.

Also GoFigure will not read accented letters in album and artist names of the folder.
GoFigure!!!
The playlist name cannot contain accents ( ditto the folders) so Greek, Scandinavian, French, Russian etc names have to be edited to remove accents. Ugh.

Seems this is an issue that affects many parts of GoFigure. My Qobuz password contains special characters and GoFigure has a fit over it, won’t accept it and can’t log in.

Ah, cool. I'll do some wandering around my house while streaming later to test out the new firmware. I have 3x APs so should be able to get it to switch quite a bit.

I moved around and got a few AP handoffs tonight without any interruptions so that's promising. I've also been jumping back and forth between Roon and Apple Music (AirPlay) without any drop outs or stuttering. Will see how long that lasts though, right @radnor?

I am wondering if the hugo 2go-2yu combo would be able to supply redbook files from Tidal directly to the HMS via wifi, or if it is via a computer or phone.

Also, do you know if Tidal tracks can be downloaded to the 2go, or is it just streaming?

Thanks!

Just streaming. If you're an iOS user and aren't put off by being limited to 16/44 you can download tracks (to your iPhone/iPad) in the native Tidal app and then send those to your H2Go via Airplay.

Custom H2GO case from Valentinum

... primary use case out and about... so holes for headphones and charging and wireless only.. .also made gap smaller for H2 buttons.

Very nice @radnor, do you have a link to where you found this model on the Valentinum store front?

Edit: I ordered one very similar to this from Valentinum the other day but it looks slightly different. Does yours have an extra panel to cover the top when you're traveling with it (in a bag or something)?

Very smart case.

Can it be attached to your belt at the waist? How do you intend carrying it?

yes i requested several changes... one of which was closing the gap on the buttons on the front.... the gap in the one he has been selling was too big and showed the 2go line... this makes it look more integrated... ye sit has a panel that covers the entire top as well... good if throwing in a bag.

no link just request the changes... he will do at no extra charge.

i have a fanny pack like bag i put it in when i hike... works perfect... however you can request a slide through handle for the side.... sometimes i just hold it around house.

im sure you could request a belt loop

 

[radnor]

Yes the separate cover removes or can be flipped around to prop up the 2go... creating a little more presence and ventilation
