  The songs I mentioned are all Mp3 files, 320kbps... nothing seems to be different from any other music It manages to play normally...
And the "Format Error" quirks been long happening to mp3 files as well, check earlier thread pages.
 
The symptom is like this: The screen blinks in and out (with white screen in between) for a few seconds (pink noise plays... damn....), then skip to the next songs, this happens quite frequently when I choose "Shuffle All", which tells me not only a few songs are rendered unplayable, it's numerous..
I do will try to use the player with different micro SD card, though I find it still happens even if I move the file into Fiio internal memory.

I experienced these issues in the beginning and figured out just which tracks had the issue, deleted them and saved the file in either 128 wav or in FLAC and they have played fine. Have you been working with FiiO on you problems? Hopefully James can help you to resolve it

Nice Idea! I will try to do that.

A few took more than one try sp, just make sure you list/mark them as the more you put on and have to redo the harder it is to remember which new adds needed to be redone!

Guys, I am looking to probably get the M3. Mainly because of the inline remote support. Now, how is the forwarding on this DAP? If I have a track that an hour long, how easily can I get to the 40th minute for example? Will forwarding and reversing work if I hold a button on the headphone remote?
 
Thanks for any answers!

Just tried to do forwarding on a 12 min long track, from 00:00:01->00:11:01 took it 30s, with 20 intervals from 1-6 then 1 min jumps after it... not that fast, but adequate. Can't comment on the inline remote, as the included one only have play/ pause, skip/ play back songs, and I don't have any IEM's with mikes/inline remote other than it.

Congrats and Welcome! Sorry for your wallet

James, can you comment on whether Fiio plans to add gapless playback capability to the M3?

Sorry, the Soc is too weak to support gapless playback. 

And yet the Sansa Clip+ was able to do this what, six years ago!!!

Pathetic!

Hi, i have had a M3 for over a month and am impressed with the SQ and size.
 
My problem is with coverart, i find:
 
1. flac files mostly but not all display the cover
2. alac 320k files do not display any cover art
3. mp3 files 320k seem to display cover art
 
I use dbpoweramp to convert from apple lossless.
 
I would like all cover-art to display without issue or regard to the format.
 
Interestingly my X5 displays all coverart whatever the format, so the problem seems to lie with the M3 firmware and I hope that Fiio will sort this with the nest firmware update.
 
Any comments or ideas would be welcome.

Ooh, Ooh let me chime in for my brother Wokei as he is the king of the Carbon touch

I've even used his ideas on some of mine (actually copied him on the Havi B3's)

He uses his X3 sticker kit I believe to customize

One easy way is to use ---we called it " tracing paper " here ...first draw the outline of the shape of the area onto the tracing paper and then cut the carbon vinyl according to the shape on the paper  ....cut wee slightly smaller the vinyl and when pasting it ....stretch it a bit by using the hair dryer for a better finish .....Wokei over and out !

Looks awesome, I'll have to try this some time.  Not a huge fan of my off white colored M3.  I think it needs to be something else....  Now I look for a cool wrap.
