That would be appreciated.  I think I'm after a new low cost drag and drop player.  Lost my clip plus and having to use itunes any time I want to update my ipod is a pita.

This will be a deal breaker for me as well, as I was going to use it as a portable set with my CIEM(custom art ei.3).

It is now available from Tinbel through Amazon (no prime though)

As I mentioned - Sansa 128gb. And you can scroll by holding the button down

Do you mean SanDisk?

Think this one could work?

Yep - that is what I was using. No guarantees - but it did work on the unit I have

Great, for that price I'll have to give it a try in one of the M3's I just got off Tinbel

Besides I have other player's with larger capacity mSD's I can use it in should I have trouble with it

Thanks I know the official 64 GB support thingy with Fiio. so yeah no guarantee but it won't harm in trying as card itself is not expensive. If card for some reason doesn't work with it (I really don't see much reason why should it not) then I can always use it with DSLR for photos (maybe videos too) and forget about buying any other card for camera storage in future as well lol.
 
One more thing, what file system did you format the card into for making it work with M3? Any special utilities required for formatting 64+ GB cards?

Formatted it inside the player.  In the past I've found that to be the most effective means - but any card from any Fiio player seems to work fine.
 
FTR - the card format is FAT32

Foobar2000 can easily do the conversion to FLAC for you.

Hello Gents,
 
Quick question to those who already have received their M3s.....I just got mine today.
 
When charging the device does the lights on the button area continuously flash? Is this normal.
 
Build quality is great for the price and its pretty tiny
