what synch program? Have you rebooted computer? Is X5 set for USB storage vs DAC?

I don't use a sync program.  I just plug it in and a little "transfer files" screen pops up on the Fiio.  Then I click "enable file transfer" on the Fiio and copy the files directly onto the drive from my PC.
 
But, yes, I've rebooted the PC.  I've also tried it with 2 other computers and the Fiio doesn't seem to detect any of them as I no longer get that "transfer files" pop up.
 
I double checked and the Fiio is set for USB storage.
 
As I said, the Fiio does indicate that it's charging when I plug it in.  It just no longer seems to detect that it's plugged in and give me that "transfer files" screen.  Is there anyway to get to that screen directly?  Or is it only an auto-pop up?

Hi, same problem with me until I save the songs to sd1. The problem also occurs when i save it to sd2.

Let me know how does it works for you.



I download the spotify from google play too with the same FW

 


I have tried a few different combination over the last few days and nothing seems to be better or worse. I can work out why it only happens randomly. Sometimes its fine when I reboot and other times it logs me out and deletes the downloaded content. It is annoying!!

Wasn't me, Hawaiibadboy. Although the DX200 was something I looked at with all the FiiO X5iii firmware issues. It's just people who have the x5 say the sound is worth it. Must be like owning an Alfa Romeo.

  Must be like owning an Alfa Romeo.

That's a good analogy to use...although, very few Fiios have hardware issues

Sorry, the only thing I could think of. Must watch too much Top Gear.
 
Never thought about it before, but can we put our hands on our hearts and say that all these issues are firmware related?
 
Could it be possible that the X5 3rd Gen and the X7, that must share hardware similarities, could be an/the issue? Just thinking.

BLASPHEMY! There's no such thing as too much TG

Obviously, not talking about the new version. Need to watch the Grand Tour.

The American version went off the air, right? That was HORRIBLE!

Is the cable that you are using support data transfer? Are using the cable that Fiio supply you?

I'm from the UK, but I do remember some channel showing the US version. It's never a good idea to try and replicate something with a whole new cast. Ghostbusters 2016!!!

  You would have to be more specific, as I always seem to get bad luck. They have been great in the past, but as mentioned in the above post, it's my word against theirs. Just hope they can track everything.
 
I think you must be referring the two occasions I purchased a FiiO X5 2nd Gen from advancedmp3players.co.uk and they both went missing. On both occasions, they refused to refund me until they found out what had happened. The second time, I got FiiO involved and threatened them with their local trading standards before I got refunded.

 
I am surprised to hear that about advancedmp3players, I bought both my X5II and my X5III from them.
 
Both were purchased with 10% discounts plus quidco cashback on top, so I only paid £327.00 for my X5III.  My X5III even arrived next day free of charge through Amazon's shared stock system.

Just heard back. The guy on the phone was great, but could only offer £190 for the mk 1 X5. I can get an X5 2nd gen for £215.
 
So the upshot is, I have to prove I paid the import duty to Jersey and then I will get a refund. Will then have to wait the 7 days it takes for the refund to apply to my account, before I can contemplate my next purchase.

​Sometimes I get the pop up "Turn on USB storage" and other times it doesn't appear but the drives (sd cards) show up in  Windows explorer. Sorry I don't have any answers.

I've spent over £1,300 in the last two years, with them. When things go wrong, your on your own.
