Well that's why we are waiting for the promised firmware "update"
Dear friend,Just received my unit, pretty good so far but there's a couple issues I have with it.
If I select all my albums and send them to the "Now Playing" playlist, the order is all outta whack. Some albums have reversed order, some albums are mixed together and some of them are just fine. All files are properly tagged, and the filenames start with the track number. Am I missing some sort function? All I can find is "sort by filename" but that lumps every album together.
Also, I really wish there was an option for "play all ..." in the album/artist views. Pressing "bulk", "select all", then play feels like it's gonna get on my nerves really quickly.
Stay updated on FiiO at their sponsor profile on Head-Fi.

Where do I find those "cracked" apps?

Re: Firmware Update
Well it seems all of us M6 owners have been forgotten/ignored by FiiO. Not clever in the long term. Short term maybe, long term, M6 users will not forget. FiiO made out that because of the slow processor they could not whitelist virtually any apps, reality has shown that not to be true as there are cracked apk's around and they are fine. Many functional issues around the firmware/FiiO search facilities by users have been ignored. Sorry FiiO but your users all matter! Do FiiO understand long term marketing/karma? If you ignore your users FiiO, the results of that ignorance will show up way down the line. My suggestion. Listen to your users more. Same for the M9. Isn't it good to listen to your users? Isn't that the point of owning your DAPs?

Even I have liked your comment, I would not be that harsh with FiiO. They have a quite good customer communication. I think they have underestimated the expectations of customers which comes along with an Android based player, that this opens up a complete new world of software possibilities as user know a lot of other Android apps and would like to use them on their M6/9 and they already have announced some new apps for the whitelist (somewhere in the premium sponsor forum).
The point were I am in total agreement with you is, all the tiny little bugs on basics of their own music player software which have not been addressed yet despite that users have given tons of input to these issues. That is were I am disappointed from FiiO. The FiiO Music App would be so much better I FiiO would get just basics right.
So the next update should better be a good one!
P.S. M11 is not an alternative to M6/9!

Hi STeve!
Got some insight from FiiO on the newly whitelisted apps in the new firmware - in another thread:
"Hi,many new apps will be added to whitelists,such as DS audio, MediaMonkey, Poweramp, Online Radio Box, KMPlayer and so on."
Please post the post link if you don't want to directly link as I can't find itHi
If you go back through this thread you will find links to some of those apps. Because someone else 'cracked' them I don't want to put them up, out of respect. There's another music player. Not that it is special, but it does work relatively speedily on the M6/M9. I think the search issues many bring up, a podcast player and an audiobook player could have made a lot of users happy and are the main point. I would still recommend this player, it's well made and very functional. I just cannot understand how FiiO can just 'forget' their users. Aren't the products supposed to make people happy?

That is all well and good but shouldn't they focus on making their own Music Player better? I mean it has their name on it for god sakes and for us M7 owners our only option. It's like saying hey our competitors make better apps than us so use their products and not ours. M6 owners may feel neglected but M7 owners are completely forgotten at this point without a Fiio Music Player update.
