  Yes I am in folder view. 
 
I had some Linn files from last year and did not have this problem with the last stable firmware. I will roll-back the firmware and see if they are detected.

All X5 firmwares are "stable."  I'm on the latest beta and have no trouble with the Linn FLAC I downloaded as a test.  Something else is going on or they got corrupted in the download.  Maybe try LINN support, see if you can download them again.

Does the folder appear when you view the card on your PC, or Browse Files on the X5?

Folder appears on a PC but not on X5. This folder contains all the high-res files from Linn that I recently downloaded. I installed a tag viewer and all tags seem to be in order. 

I formatted the card and copied all my music files again. The result is the same, everything else is detected but Linn folder is not.  I am really baffled.

What's the name of the folder containing these invisible tracks?

I downloaded a free TEST track (24bit FLAC) in order to see if I could replicate the OPs difficulty with a LINN track showing up.  I couldn't.

As hinted above, I'm suspecting something wrong with the name of the directory he put those tracks in. If the X5 can't parse the directory name it wouldn't be able to read anything within the directory.

Joe:  That's what I suggested on the previous page when I ran him through a series of procedures to determine the issues.  

 

 
Keep the folder but remove the Linn files.  Put a single FLAC in that you know shows up (you can pull it from another folder if need be).  Re-scan.  Does THAT file show up in the folder on your X5?  If not, it's the folder or how it's named.  If yes, then clearly you've got an issue with the Linn files.  It's most likely the encoding.

Hope you are having a good "holiday."  Loved your desktop screen.  Hope you don't mind that I posted it.

Haha, I'm fine with it It's sad though that I've only ever managed to get that setup working on one of my computers, and it's sort of a pain to get running I think I'll be looking to simplify my setup by moving from VSTHost to EqualizerAPO and offloading some of the work to an ordinary HT amp

I manged to get this one working.

You got it Joe.

 
My X5 refuses read anything in the folder named "miscFLAC". I moved the Linn files out of this folder and everything is fine now. I renamed the folder as "MiscFLAC" and placed just one flac file in it but still X5 ignores this folder. 
 
EDIT: This begs the question; are there any other folder names that are not detected? Does anybody know why X5 doesn't like some names?

Could be the name is used in the code somewhere and doesn't like seeing it out of place. I dunno.

Perhaps Joe can answer, and good catch olddude and Joe Bloggs.

So Fiio has just announced the official release of 2.34. Does one stick to 2.36 beta or move back to official 2.34? One thing they mention on their changelog is about a sleep timer which doesn't ring a bell as having been there in the beta. My player is not with me at the moment so can't confirm.

They announced 2.4, based on 2.37beta, not 2.34. Upgrade to 2.4.

Looks to me like it's FW 2.4, not 2.34!

You would be spot on. Read it in a rush and didn't take note. Regarding the prior comment, didn't realise a 2.37 was ever released.
