In what way is it just the same?

Memory card un mounts and re mounts and re scans card after switch off

Just rolled back to 1.18 fw and its just the same as 1.25 fw

How were you able to roll back?

Had my mind taken off this slight hiccup for now, just taken delivery of the 2.5mm balanced cable for my alpha primes. The improvement makes up for this problem

Where did you get the balanced cable?  I need to pick one up for my LCD-X.

I got mine from Moon Audio....works great with my LCD-X and HE1000s.

 

[MrBucket]

Yeah I thought that looked like the rhodium Furutech connectors they use.  I have their Black Dragon Premium for my LCD-X.  I should have spent more and got one that could be used with the different adaptors they do with mini XLR, but thats in the past.

Its actually a stock 2.5mm one from Mr Speakers for the alpha primes, but just had these beauties returned from Konstantin at lavricables 2 forza hybrids re terminated and one of his audeze silvers all 2.5mm balanced and sleevings.

Have you went into settings and turn off auto scan?

 
Unless I'm being stupid or it's well hidden (could go either way), there doesn't appear to be an option for turning off auto scan.
 
I've sort-of got to the bottom of (but not resolved) the problem - if you select the PLAY ALL option at any folder level, then the player will not remember where you were if you switch it off and on.  However, if you select an individual song within a folder, then the player WILL remember where you were.  Which of course means the problem now is that if you have more than one folder within an album (say, for example, a 2 or more CD album with each CD in its own folder within the main album folder, as in this folder structure - ALBUM folder>CD 1 folder and CD 2 folder) and you are listening to the whole of that album in sequence, you have to go back to the top of the folder structure to get to CD 2.  Not as bad as having to do it every time you switch on, but still annoying.
 
Another thing that seems to have stopped working properly with the upgrade to 1.25 is gapless.  Whereas before gapless worked wonderfully for nearly all of the formats I have on there (a mixture of OGG, MP3, FLAC and WAV), it's now very sporadic and, even worse, very random - it's not at all dependent on format or quality.  Again, this only seems to be a problem with files on the micro SD card.  I have tried switching gapless off, resetting everything and mounting the card from new again and, again, have tried other sizes and makes of card, all with the same issue.
 
It would seem that iRiver's attempts to tidy things up and add a couple of features with 1.25 has totally screwed up several key (and, let's face it, basic) things when it comes to the micro SD card.
 
I hope iRiver/AK ARE working on these problems, because they are quite the deal breaker for me...

No auto scan switch now, your not stupid and its not hidden, we are in desperate need of this shoddy FW sorting ASAP ... your pay a premuim price for the player you expect nothing less than premium customer support.

Am I right in thinking there DID used to be an option to switch it off?  I'm sure I remember seeing it in the options, but never used it so it could just be a false memory.

Laugh is all we can do at the moment.

Ridiculous.

Just an FYI:  The 200GB Sandisk MicroSD card is on sale on Amazon for $150 for the next 6 hours or so.  Normally sold anywhere from $250 - $200.  That's the lowest price I've seen for it.  Just bought one for the AK240.  Close to half a TB of storage now.
