Re: FW3.30
 
Is anyone else getting "Unknown Artist" displayed whenever the song starts playing?

Thank you so much for continuing to improve the X3. This was one of the first FiiO products I bought but your presence here while always working to make it a better player convinced me to buy other FiiO gear like three amps and another DAP. James, having you available here for feedback and support is greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks again and take care.

First off thanks fot the new FW
 
just a heads up, I also am getting unknown artist at the start of a song even though when i select info the artist is properly displayed. Also this is my first FW upgrade were I lost all my favorites.

I had this issue with all the Mp3s that I had tagged before but it saw everything else. Now, everything says unknown artist. Other than that, it is quite good so far.

NEW STUFF coming??
 
Can't wait! I hope it will be either a new top of the line model or a replacement for the X3.... ohhhh the suspense.
 
Cheers,

Having this issue too on all files (all FLAC).
 

  6. Added feature to display ID3-based song title rather than  filename in Now Playing screen.

Even when I set the filename display option to "Title", the label shown in the Now Playing screen shows the filename with the extension (.flac, .mp3, etc.) cropped rather than the title set in the ID3 tag. E.g. if the filename is "01 - TrackTitle.flac" with the ID3 title set to "ABCD", the Now Playing screen should show "ABCD" at the bottom but instead its showing "01 - TrackTitle".
 
I bet I can live with these "cosmetic" issues though.
Lastly, thanks @JamesFiiO for another great release.

I got that same information too (I heard January / February) .... I wish I knew what the differences are going to be so I can make my decision as to what to buy.  Anyone ?
