Well, I hope my ignorance doesn't show too badly here, but I'm attempting to make something work and I'm not at all knowledgeable about this, so here goes...
I own a Fiio X1 1st Gen. I like how they invite you to tweak the firmware, so I want to see if I can create the option to list music by ALBUM ARTIST. I'm only using high kb/s mp3s, so if the X1 reads the ID3 tags then I may have a hope here.
I organize my music in iTunes by Album Artist as a song on an album may be a remix or have a collaborator and I like my Artist list to reflect that. iTunes also manages it's folder structure by Album Artist, so my music collection still stays tidy, and I make sure that the ID3 tags are labelled correctly. The Fiio X1 only shows the Artist, so even though my folder structure is simple, one album may have half a dozen Artists it falls under, making playback of many albums by one Album Artist impossible.
Fiio invites people to alter the firmware and I've had a look at it. Unpacking the 2.0fw I can see the CATEGORY file that looks like this:
<all_music_x>0</all_music_x> #播放全部
<all_music_y>1</all_music_y>
<album_x>121</album_x> #专辑
<album_y>1</album_y>
<artist_x>0</artist_x> #艺术家
<artist_y>149</artist_y>
<genre_x>121</genre_x> #风格
<genre_y>149</genre_y>
<i_menu_bg_x>0</i_menu_bg_x>
<i_menu_bg_y>23</i_menu_bg_y>
<i_all_x>6</i_all_x>
<i_all_y>23</i_all_y>
<i_album_x>63</i_album_x>
<i_album_y>23</i_album_y>
<i_artist_x>127</i_artist_x>
<i_artist_y>23</i_artist_y>
<i_genre_x>195</i_genre_x>
<i_genre_y>23</i_genre_y>
So, would it be as simple as adding a <albumartist_x>...etc to these files? And does anyone know what the numbers represent in the code? And if this is reading ID3, does it need to be ALBUMARTIST, ALBUM_ARTIST, or ALBUM ARTIST?
As far as I can tell, it looks like I'd have to change the category file in coordinate folder, and the category file and playing file in the english folder inside the str folder.
