It can take a while depending on how you have the tracks arranged on the cards. I didn't believe this at first, but subsequent trials proved it to be true. I have mostly FLAC files. The few MP3 files that I have are converted to WMA files. All files are put into folders by album and the album files are put under an artist folder. I have NO cover art imbedded in the files. I simply put a 400 x 400 copy of the cover art as a jpg file named "cover.jpg" in the album folder. This also works for compellation albums where I want the tracks grouped under a name but with different cover art displayed from the original albums. Fiio music player works great! I do wish they would bring back the VU meters for the display.
Sounds way too long, I can scan two 512gb cards in about 15 mins!
Yeah - this was the FiiO music app. I downloaded the HiBy app and it scanned both of my cards in about 12 minutes!
Avoid any cards from Lexar...they don't work. I use Sandisk and Samsung. Just beware of counterfeits. I have gotten a few Samsung counterfeits from Amazon which they replaced. All of the unknown name 1TB and 512GB cards at insanely low prices are junk / counterfeit. Unless you thoroughly test every bit on these cards, you won't know it till its too late and your data is gone...poof!
This is finally resolved. After 3 months that they explained as them waiting for parts, I was informed I would be getting a "replacement unit". I initially assumed that would be mean a new sealed unit. But what I got was an M11 in bubble wrap loose in a shipping box. It looked like a refurbished unit but there was no info about it. I had to follow up with the retailer to confirm this. I had shipped it back to them in it's original box but that was not returned. I asked about this a couple of weeks ago but have heard nothing.
I have all my music backed up on an external drive just in case, data failure bound to happen.
