Thank you for the very generous reply and suggestion. I'm kind of a noob at this and not really understanding what sideloading a music app is. I did a quick google search to no avail. Please note, my CD collection is ripped to FLAC if that matters in what app I should try.

No worries. Refer to what 'superuser1' said in post #3388, that's exactly what sideloading is. Pretty easy. And your audio files can be in various formats, be it FLAC or MP3, etc, and you can still use almost any music player app to play it on the M6.

Does Apple Music streaming work now on M6?

No, you could use other streaming app instead.

Could someone confirm if DSD files play gapless and with no stutter using the USB Out to an external DAC/Amp?

is the M6 easy to navigate for someone with fat fingers?

I have fat fingers and the M6 is fine for me.

Thanks, good to know. Do you also use the USB out function (using DSD files), if so, does it work properly?

Nope, I haven't used DSD files with my M6. Sorry to be of no help in this regard.

Just download Musicolet or Foobar2k or similar either using your PC or phone. Transfer the .APK file onto the M6. On the M6 open the file manager and go to copied apk file and click to install.

Thanks again for all your help. I had a hard time getting my laptop to see the M6 internal and SD storage. Only after removing the white list app limitations could I 'see' the M6's storage. So that was kind of weird.

Anyway, all working fine now, and the Musicolet player is pretty cool.

Glad it worked. Have fun!

Now I am having issues with File Management crashing whenever I try to look at my music folder on my SD card and Musicolet is not loading new music I added. I have tried scanning multiple times and rebooting multiple times.

Have you tried installing other versions of Musicolet?

It took me a while to find a version of Musicolet that worked decently (see below). Since then it's been fine until this issue popped up a couple of days ago. How often should I be updating the app in order to have a stable version? Seems weird to me that a stable version would crap out seemingly without reason. I'm no tech genius by any means though.

I finally got it to work after updating the firmware to 1.0.4 and installing Musicolet version 4.4 build 205. It continuously crashed on all previous versions of Musicolet I tried.

check another card if issue is there or clear cache\data of file manager. Or try other file manager.

How do you clear cache/data of file manager? I only see options to uninstall and to force stop.

I tried the solution posted below to install a different file manager but it didn't work (and the link doesn't even seem active anymore):
