GAPLESS?!?

I'll be revising my review once I test this added functionality. Awesome!

Still waiting for file limit to be lifted, how hard can it be when just about all the other manufacturers have implemented this

I'm hoping we see a FW refresh alongside the M5 release!

Wow

It has already been mentioned in another thread... nonetheless, for those who are interested.
The M3 is on Massdrop for a reasonably good price: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/shanling-m3

I found that the existing English translation (as of firmware 3.0) was not the best so I improved it:

@Shanling It would be great if you could integrate this translation into a possible future firmware.
Otherwise I can also provide the link to the .bin file with the updated translations.
 
In general, I think community provided translations are a good idea in order to improve the interface of Chinese DAPs.

Nice theMUKe! I've done this with the M2 and a couple other DAPs. The translation services the DAP manufacturers contract out with never seem to get it quite right...

 

[Shanling]

I'm sorry to bring you guys inconvenience for this. You guys could tell us if there are any wrong translations and we will try our best to improve them . 
 
Thanks.

@nmatheis Did you manage to change the font? Simply replacing "msyh.ttf" did not work for me. And "SIMHEI.TTF" is used only for Chinese, isn't it?

 

[nmatheis]

I actually haven't had any time to play with theming the Shanling DAPs but did theme my X3 & X5. Font replacement worked just fine with those. Did you rename the replacement font "msyh.ttf"? It needs to be exactly the same name as the old file.

Yes, gave it the same name, of course. Maybe Shanling is using "SIMHEI.TTF" also for English. But I do not want to replace this one with a font without Chinese characters. The menu seems to rely on having these characters after flashing as Chinese is the default language.
And I cannot flash another firmware without selecting the option from the menu as far as I know. Anyone knows, if I can trigger the firmware update during bootup (i.e. by holding a specific button)?

In terms of changing the font, "SIMHEI.TTF" can be safely replaced with another TrueType font: http://www.head-fi.org/t/756779/shanling-m3/450#post_12638461
