Anyone else's M2X wifi download speed is so awfully awfully slow? My M2X and my laptop are both in the same wifi network and both show good range but while it takes seconds to download the update on my laptop, M2X needs like 20+ minutes for that.

I also noticed one good undocumented change, the spectrum analyzer display more frequencies now.

5. Album cover and lyrics can be downloaded from internet and added to currently played file.

This doesn't work for me sadly. The lyrics part to be exact. I can download covers just fine but no matter how popular song I pick, it detects no lyrics available.

Download speed can be problem of servers hosting firmware, they are different from our website.

Lyrics, still kind of experimenting with this, will get some adjustments in the future.

Great job! I love the new features, especially the cover download (it works flawlessly!).

This looks like a nice, small player, and I'm excited that it can supply Tidal, but despite searching this thread, and online, I can't find out for sure whether it does/doesn't offer Tidal offline function.
Can anyone please confirm?
Please and thanku!

Oh, and Spotify, meant to ask about that too!

Great changes @Shanling .

However I have to ask... is it possible that you could bring back theme #2 in a future update? That was my theme!! :)

#2 was the easiest on the eyes, it was sparse and perfect. Why not bring back #2 and if necessary replace #1, 4 or 5? Frankly the colors clash, none of them are beautiful, and so I think a very sparse and clean theme is really appropriate to include. Or replace #3, which is close but much brighter. But not in a necessary way. And #2 now, what's with that "arrows" background?! Just not necessary...

Also, is it my imagination or does the equalizer now drop the volume much more dramatically than it did before? Turning it on, even with very minor adjustment, seemd to make the volume much, much lower.

The new FW 3.4 of M5s has the same issue with EQ sound. The new FW is great, but EQ not only drops volume but also cut off the high frequencies. The EQ-ed sound is less dynamic and has smaller soundstage...

Yeah, its horrible. It's absolutely unusable. This must be a bug, right? The intention can't be for it to be like this.... I was using the EQ in the last version all the time to privide a little bump in bass, it was fine. I'm thinking about rolling back to the previous firmware, if possible.

Yes. I also have to go back to the previous FW. You just need to copy the previous fw update to your card.

Yeah, I'm downloading it from Google Drive now. Thanks.

I'm thinking this has to be an error, simply turning the EQ (without adjusting any sliders at all) on drops the volume tremendously, and yeah overall the sound is terrible. It's completely muffled. Looking forward to the next firmware, assuming this is fixed.

With all the garish, bright themes available, it would be nice if this one, quite clean and simple and easy to look at, would be included in future firmware. :)

Unfortunately no Tidal Offline, that's available only in original app. (we assume this is limitation imposed by Music labels)

Spotify, we tried to get it into system, but it's apparently impossible to even talk with anybody from Spotify on such implementation. Big difference to open approach by Tidal.

Got feedback people are missing theme 2, so will try to add it back as soon.

With EQ, need to look into it. Apparently software team was trying to fix distortions when used high levels of EQ and meanwhile messed it up in different way.
