Hello!
Firstly, thank you, FiiO, for your continued support of the X3!
A few comments on the new FW3.34beta...
1. My favorite new feature is "Path memory feature: Pressing the Back button from the Now Playing screen will now always take you to the folder / album / etc. from which the current song is selected." - awesome.
2. Song titles were displaying correctly with 3.33beta, but not so with 3.34. The current beta is back to displaying the file name without the file extension (e.g., ".flac"), not the actual song title as input to the ID tag (same problem as previous FW versions up to 3.33beta).
3. Pausing a track and then hitting the back button to start at the beginning (0:00) releases the pause, not so with previous FW versions (i.e., track stays paused) - personally, track remaining paused is more desirable.
4. Album art is still over-scaled, cutting off artist names and album titles on cover art - this continues to be disappointing.
5. Sound profile of 3.34 maybe does not seem as well-defined as with 3.33, still deciding on this.
Is ReplayGain on Line Out playback to be addressed? I have a lot of classical music on my X3 and there is a tremendous difference in volume, so I am constantly having to adjust the volume level in my car, pretty much for every track, regardless of genre. I have all my files tagged with RG and ready to go when this feature is built in (I am more of a Line Out user than headphones).
Also, would love alpha folders somehow in "All Songs" view to toggle to artist names / album titles that begin with a certain letter versus having to scroll endlessly to find a song to start all-songs shuffle playback, unless there is another way to do this?
Happy Chinese New Year, and many thanks!
