I use musicbee to sync music to my M11 and to get album art to show I have to set it to embeded in the music Sorry on another planet thanks to illness and new meds

Thanks for the suggestion. I use Mac OS and the only musicbee that is on the App Store is just a music player or is that the one I should try?

I can only recommend manually finding albums and correcting titles in the attached pictures. Or, before downloading a new album to a memory card, add a cover using the "Metatogger" application (though it does not work with DSD / wav formats)

Manually is a word that I try to avoid at all costs...!! Thanks for your input, appreciated.

I use windows but yes its the music player that I use in windows to sync my music files to my M11

Sorry but do you mean you have misicbee on your M11? Did you download it on the M11?

Or did you mean you use Musicbee on windows to put your music and info on your micro card?

Thanks

Musicbee player in windows and then usb M11 sync

I always run my albums through mediaMonkey to get album art and tag it.

With it you change artwork properties to 'Front' for each albums track.
Abit of a chore to go through all your albums and fix, but it sure looks good when it works.

It also has an API where it connects to Discogs and downloads the artwork into the albums folder.

Edited to add

You install the software on a PC. Unfortunately on Android it needs Google play services to run on the M11.

I am on Mac OS.

I have over 700 albums and about 70% of them display on the M11 but none of the ones that do display have cover or front in their titles...??

If you traditionally use iTunes to store your music, unless you have specifically embedded artwork in each file as you go along, then iTunes stores them in a folder called Album Artwork which is encrypted to some extent.

Easiest way to get your artwork embedded automatically is to tun a script within iTunes itself like one from Doug's Scripts ( I have one called Embed Artwork and reEmbed Artwork, they are free from the site ) and it will run though your whole library or just highlighted tracks and embed the artwork in each track.

These will then show up when you sync to your device.

All my 19500 aac files on iTunes have artwork, these files with artwork have been copied to micro card and used I Cowon Plenue player and every single one had its artwork there in the player. Using the same card in the M11 all the songs are there but not all the artwork is showing. When I view the card on Mac with file explorer every music album folder has still got the artwork. It seems that the M11 just does not like some of the artwork and has "censored" it and will not show it when playing. Still mystified, it does the same with some flac albums as well and I know these all have artwork too. It must be the Fiio music program??

Coming from iOS, this is my first Android device, therefore please forgive my Android newbie question.
When I connect the iPhone though bluetooth to the speakers, the volume control on the iPhone controls also device's volume control and vice versa. When I connect the M11 to the same BT speakers, I have two separate volume controls, meaning adjusting the volume on M11 doesn't affect speakers' own volume control. This makes the sound quite soft, or I have to turn the M11 to the max. I was looking for some bluetooth volume settings but couldn't find any. Help appreciated.

This is a real challenge, and so far one of my few disappointments. Though I'm not convinced it's an Android issue but rather a FiiO issue. Android phones don't have this issue as far as I know.

Dear friend,

Did you try other wifi and check again? Make sure that the M11 and the mobile phone are in same Wifi.
Does the same issue happen when connecting to other Bluetooth headphone? If not, try to forget the 100XM3 in the M11 and reconnect again?

Best regards

Ref the Bluetooth. I have forgotten and re-paired the Sony 1000xm3 and this still happens. At the end of album play (not using folder play through) the Bluetooth announces that it has disconnected. This only happens when the screen is switched off. When you pick up M11 and reactivate the screen it reconnects the Bluetooth. This is exactly the same behaviour with my sennheiser Momentum 2 wireless. When the music ends with the screen off there is no further Bluetooth connection until screen is switched back on, the headphone loses control of the player and is not able to restart the music from the headphones at all until M11 screen is re activated. Is this a deliberate battery saving mode? It seems as that may be the answer, not come across this before as I use iPhone, iPad and iMac and have not previously used an android dap. Thanks for your concerns.

I am in the same boat with my headphones, as you describe the M11 has to be on max volume when on Bluetooth and the volume is controlled by the headphones. They do not move in unison as I have been used to previously and unless the M11 volume is on max the headphone volume is very low even on max headphone vol. hope this makes sense, it seems to be a quirk of the Fiio Bluetooth.
