Ok guys, For anyone else wondering, I can confirm that the card does indeed need to be formatted in FAT32...unfortunately I found this out the hard way.
I used SDFormatter at first, but this only formatted the card in exFAT, and there doesn't seem to be a way to set it to FAT32. Anyways, after it was formatted in exFAT, I popped it into the M3 and it showed the full capacity, so I thought it's all systems go. Unfortunately after spending the whole night sorting out and copying music over (14,000 tracks) I turned on the M3, it did a library update, so it seemed like all went well. But, when I attempted to go into a folder it said something about the file structure not being supported. So I took out the card, plugged it into my PC and immediately got a prompt that the card needs to be formatted. Which means that not even Windows could access the files on the card. All that work, LOST.
I eventually got hold of another formatter which successfully formatted it to FAT32. Spent another couple of hours sorting out and copying the tracks over, and now it's finally working properly.
Other issues I've come across: The alphabetical sorting doesn't just affect folders, it affects files as well. Also, while music is playing and then scrolling through folders there's often some skipping happening.
Fiio, can I also request for the next firmware update that you guys ditch the "fancy" text font, and rather use something more simple like Roboto. I find that on such a low dpi screen the current font doesn't seem to work very well
