Ok, new guy here. I joined up specifically because I just had my iPod classic 6.5-120gb give up the ghost.
So, I immediately bought the FIIO X1-gen2.
THEN.....I read this thread. All of this thread.
Since the gen 2 is continuing to be laggy and flakey, I wonder if anyone can help me.head off unnecessary drama when my device gets here Wednesday.
All I have ever done in the past is to buy a CD, import it to iTunes, then load.it to my pod. The CD goes on the shelf only to be needed if I'm lending it out or need to reload it on my pod for whatever reason.
I would like to duplicate this experience with my new X1-GEN2.
Normal for me would be the ability to have :
Artist - Album - song titles
Then have them in alphabetical order by artist.
Is this doable on the x1?
Is it a simple process/automated?
I am running Linux Peppermint on my laptop, so I still need a management application (any suggestions are welcome) and was looking at Tangerine or Audacious.
FWIW, and off topic, I also plan to gut the dead iPod's harddrive and attempt to swap it for aSD conversion. So any suggestions on music file manager should be able to play nice with both devices. Yes?
Anyhow, thanks for having me. I look forward to any and all advice and help that you guys could offer me.
