The Fiio X5 Thread
Mar 20, 2014 at 4:52 PM Post #5,356 of 19,652
I have a question that will determine whether I order now or wait...   Will the X5 display cover art for FLAC using a file named cover.jpg, which is placed in the album's folder?  (In other words, one cover.jpg for every album and the cover file gets used for every song on that album).
 
Also, does the X3 support this?  
 
I don't have the time nor patience nor the will to go back through hundreds and thousands of songs and embed the art.  I want to use the same cover.jpg I use now with a Rockboxed iPod, Squeezebox Touch, etc.

@starfish: good question. I used to have a Synology NAS and therefore I was forced to rename all cover art 'cover.jpg'. Thousands of albums are stored like that so I will keep my fingers crossed on this one ....

Does MP4Nation charge you at the time of your order, or when your order ships?

Thank you for the heads up about MP4Nation and the promo code!! I had a very early B&H preorder, but saving $17 + free S1 headphones make that deal a must. I just hope they ship in a reasonable amount of time.

Based on the order I just placed, it looks like they charge you when you place the order (at least my bank shows the charge pending).
 
Cheers!

I figured as much.  Seems most places that aren't Amazon charge at the time of order.

Thanks Jonathan, was fortunately able to pre order it from the italian distributor for 329€ shipped, plus found a month old sandisk 64gb for €20 shipped, not bad..But If i think about the USD to EUR conversion...

Got a pre-order locally for 357usd. They don't have info though about the exact date of arrival. :\

How come mp4nation has it preorder but the availability says "instock"? If it's pre order, how long does it take?

 


I think it said the expected in stock date was 3/29/14. check the order page though, it may have changed.
