If you copy/paste iTunes playlists into separate playlist folders on the card, does the Fiio X5 recognize them (unlike my cheap-o android phone?)

Where their is a will, there is a way. However, I find that support for iTune or any other playlists to be troublesome at best across all players with the exception of iTunes across apple products. To get the same effect trouble free, I simply create folders by the name of the playlists and copy those songs to those folders and chose folders like playlists. This system will work great with any player that supports files which is pretty much all of them. Assuming that you have high quality files and good headphones, the increased sound quality over apple products or any other player in its price range will make the trouble well worth the effort. The X5 is uniquely good in terms of SQ. Where their is a will, there is a way.

Yes it does recognize them and most files . And there's no comparison to the android .

What I did was to create a single folder called MusicMix, and dumped almost 500 of my favorite tunes into it. I would think that if you created a complex directory structure, it might be fairly difficult to negotiate. Also, another consideration would be the class of Micro SD card you are using, the faster the read and write might be problematic. Please note that the inability to shuffling music is a huge disappointment.

since it is android based, I don't believe ucan play your iTunes purchases on it..I personally have not downloaded any music on it though.

That is correct. You can simply put a microsd card in the headphones that contains your mp3s, and the headphones will allow you to play them. The only issue I have had with this is that it plays them in order. You can skip to the previous and the next mp3, but I have found no way to jump to next album, or to play random. This has lead me to the conclusion that I either need to put less on the sd card, or randomize the order on the card, as I don't always want to listen to them one album at a time.

Version 2 of the X3 does, I believe this version is limited to 64GB support. FiiO releases firmware pretty regularly though, so they might have addressed it through that. Just be aware that there is a version 2 of the X3 and that might limit future updates of V1.

Most definately this will carry song title information. But this depends moreso on what you are playing and what you are playing it from. I have had no problems getting this to work with various iPhones playing stored mp3s as well as streaming radio like Pandora. This is with both gen 2 and gen 3 mmi systems. There are some music apps that will not send song title information but that is the app's problem not the cable or the MMI system's issue. I can't imagine an i device with that connector that wouldn't send song title info but I haven't tried them all...

Thank you for your advice. That's something they don't list in the instructions. I went and got one and love it. I suppose I still have to keep it in "manual" and not in "auto sync" ? Or does it matter as long as I keep it in the iTunes playlist?

Yes it does, II don't use them so often because I use personalized folders instead, but there are two main functions in the menu so you can use your own playlist. The first one is "Playlist" wich you can edit in your computer and then transfer it to the device And the second one is "bookmark", in this one you create your list from the files within the Walkman, no software or PC connection needed.

Sorry...wish I could help...I just put all my music on SD cards...works really well...If this is a new machine return it...If it's an older machine might just need a lens cleaning.

The product info said "It automatically organizes your MP3 files into different artists, styles, genre and album" ... I didn't remember it would do that cause it took me nearly a year to decide to learn how to convert my iTunes music to play on this player. I never found a note in the manual about this and I think that the playlists are not something you can do, but rather it's an id tag on your music. Read that product info again on the page. It makes this album thing sound like a plus when now I can't get my player to just play all the music one after another. I don't think it will be an easy thing to make your own playlist with it. I've only just now thought to look for a web site for them: http://pyruselectronicswebsite.blogspot.com/ Time for me to do more research...

I don't know. It's been working for me. What program are you using to copy music onto them?
1394808
I know that you can put the music into folders but I did not do that. I would just dump the mp3 files on to the card and use it that way.

I'm not entirely sure, I primarily store jpeg images on it. I know as long as the music files are standard MP3 (this standard format can play in any device). You may want to check with Apple "Genius" in store or online to get definitive answer (especially enquire what exactly format of files iTunes are). I hope this helps.

No. Its as easy as copying/moving and pasting from your music folder to your hifiman player folder. Just as you'd do if the player was USB storage.

that's a function of the playback source...not the receiver. Since most sources I.e. iTunes support gapless playback, the answer would be yes. I run my iTunes thru the airplay on the 775 and since iTunes supports gapless it plays perfect. in fact I listened to Pink Floyd last night

Yes, you can! I download audio books from the library using the Overdrive platform and it recognizes the player. It actually works really well for books (but not for playlists).

I really don't know but the play/pause button doesn't work as should be... What really do is to pass to the next song so you can't pause anything... Aat least not with the device... Well, thats happens to me, but after all I'm really happy with the device because is really cheap, has many pluses and found only one little problem. That's all I can say about, hope it will help you to make your choice and good luck!!!
