I recently bought a Fiio x3 gen.2 and am very happy with it, EXCEPT it will not read the tags on most of my FLAC files! I can search my music (in the Fiio) by looking at it on the "folder" level, but the player isn't recognizing the artists, albums and all that. I ripped most of these FLAC files from CDs, using J-River Media Center and went out of my way to tag everything (in J-River), included downloading artwork in many cases. J-River shows the tags as correct, but when they are in the x3 (gen 2), everything is coming up as "Unkown Artist", "Unkown Album"...What is the issue here? I tried doing a search on this and couldn't find ANYTHING useful. Please help a newbie! I also have uploaded the latest firmware from Fiio- no difference. BTW- I am on mac OS X.

Hello Fuzzywallz,

Please contact support@fiio.net and supply them with an example of a tagged file not recognized by the player for analysis.

Best regards,
Joe for FiiO

I tried using "Tag Editor (free), with rapid tagging" (app for mac) to re-tag the FLAC files and now they work for (the most part, some are missing art, etc). If I run into any ones that aren't working, I will send them as instructed. THANKS!

White noise problem still isn't fixed. If I pause a song, don't use the DAP for 30~ minutes, and come back, there's white noise and the player doesn't react, until I plug out my headphones and put them in again. Maybe it's a problem with one standby modes, I don't know.

Weird.  I stopped having that problem after the last stable firmware update.

Can i rollback to 1.1fw somehow? With this 1.3 the player somtimes stops playing at the last second of actual track and no response at all. I need to restart by long pressing the power button to work again.

Any firmware can be installed at any time. Upgrade, downgrade it does not matter.

Thx, it is a good thing if works like that.
 
 
For the nex fw it would be good if the player support single music files with cue sheet in track lists [be it m3u(8) or own]. At the moment it does not work. And it would be good too if we can select folders for the players own playlist editor, not just tracks.

It does work like that.

I really like the scroll wheel update, it feels so much more accurate now.

I'm currently on FW1.3 I upgraded it as soon as I got the unit a few days ago. It worked fine yesterday but today it seems to randomly pause all the time. Should I just upgrade to FW1.4 and hope for the best?

A new beta for the X5 2nd gen has just been released. It includes the below:

Added library search function: activate by holding Shortcuts button in any category or folder browsing screen; use previous / next buttons to switch between numbers and alphabet).

One can only hope the X3 2nd gen is getting the same love soon

I just hope 1.4 does a good job on the scroll wheel, it's really Really bad. I can't get the DL until tomorrow since I lost my adapter for the sd card.
