am looking forward for its release.

have tried my friend's shanling equivalent, nifty little device.

lets see how FiiO plays out this time.

Really cool, if the price is not crazy for sure I will buy it, just some questions, will it have like a clip case or something similar? it will be available on release date in amazon europe?

Dear friend,

Do you mean this clip? It is come with the M5.

Best regards

 

[FiiO]

Does it support "albumartist" and multi disc tagging?

Dear friend,

No, the functions you mentioned haven't been added.

Best regards

M5 looks fantastic, the only bummer for me is the lack of EQ in the Bluetooth receiver mode. Hopefully it could be added later on in a firmware update.

 

[etoilebiscuit]

are there any promotional pictures on the strap?

It might seem unimportant but I wont buy a device that does not support these. I find it critical with a large music collection.

 

[Ab10]

Hopefully it could be added later on in a firmware update.

Don't think so it ever going to happen.

 

[Amberlamps]

Yay for huge thread titles.

Don't think so it ever going to happen.

I don't think so either, but one can dream =]

By the way, did BTR3 ever get the promised equalizer?

 

[Semiramide]

I'm looking forward to it, since I never got Shanling's M0.

Will it have folder navigation available?

I have a few questions (some may be repeating other questioners, but just take that to mean that the interest exists across multiple people):

1. Podcast support - does the player recognize the "podcast" genre tag and treat those files differently than other music files? Specifically, some bookmarking (automatic preferred) is a top priority, and speed control is nice to have.
2. M3U Playlists - how are they recognized or imported or integrated?
3. Album Artist tags - are they recognized and integrated into the database in any way?
   
4. How does "resume" work? Does the player immediately resume the last-played song (and position) when the device is turned on, or does it require extra steps?
5. Is it possible to disable the full-screen clock extra step when turning the screen on?

@JamesFiiO I'd love if we can get a few answers to @AndySocial questions above - I like to know about playlists and how the music will be organized.

Thanks!

Dear friend,

1. Podcast is not supported.
2. The M3U playlists can be read from file browser.
3. Album artist is not supported.
4. Resume mode may work like this:
Song: Press the power button to turn off the M5 during playback. After turning it on again, it will automatically
start playing the song played when the previous shutdown, and the song will start playing from the beginning;
Position: Press the power button to turn off the M5 during playback. When it is turned on again, it will
automatically start playing the song played when the previous shutdown, and the song will continue to play from
the progress of the playback.
5. Yes you could turn off the full-screen clock function if you would prefer.

Best regards

Thank you for the reply. I continue to hope that one day, we will see a DAP with the features common in most MP3 players of the previous millennium. I'm unclear why Crative, iRiver and SanDisk could recognize Album Artist and Podcast in 2000, but they are mysterious creatures in 2019.

It is baffling. Sony still does it though.
