Cross-posted from the X3 thread, if this is not the right one for problems, I apologize -
"My $0.02 is this -
I loved the unit when I purchased it, still do. But there are some serious issues that have never been rectified - cropped album art (which was sized properly in the initial firmware), incorrect genre tagging for AAC and ALAC files, gapless problems on larger files, etc. I'm not trying to sound picayune, but these were features FiiO advertised that the X3 would perform. None of these work properly, and that's not right. I really don't mean to sound harsh, but if this is going to be the last firmware for the original X3 without further support, then I'm sorry, FiiO, I will no longer be purchasing your products.
Again, I am not asking for new features to be implemented, I just want what was advertised to work properly. And please don't tell me this is a small company, and they're doing the best they can. If you sell a product with advertised features, and said features do not work properly, then perhaps you should not be selling them to the market at large. I paid my money with certain things expected, and have been very patient, but two years on and still having issues is unacceptable, while they continue to roll out new products.
In short, not very good business practice. I know there are quite a few younger people on this forum that seem to put up with it and hope for the best, but as for me, I need to see this done right. I'm all ears (no pun intended), FiiO...what is your response?
Thanks,
Christian"
