I am having an issue with the newest firmware. I have 17,000+ ALAC files all in 16bit or 24bit. Which I try to go into either the All Songs or Hi Res categories the player freezes for many minutes, but will eventually load the tracks page. The player froze for literally 10 minutes from 2:28pm until 2:38pm after I clicked "All Tracks" until the track list loaded and the player unfroze. This did not use to happen on the previous firmware, the All Tracks and Hi Res categories loaded the tracks list right away. I am using the same micro-SD card as before, and I have factory reset the player and reloaded the library.
Album, Artist, Playlists ect.. all work as expected.
