Resümme: For people who want music to choose from a large collection on the road, the X5 due to missing metadata acquisition completely unusable. Likewise, for users who are constantly making music additions to your SD card.
The player is only good to play some CDs whose title-set is still manageable, or you put a painfully favorites / playlist to.
The X5 offers which sound, storage capacity and facilities As a currently (august 2014) unbeatable package.
I have a lot of CDs and want to at times, when I have time and am not at home, listening to music and indeed from a large selection of my CD collection.
Since it would be handy if the captured when ripping overall data - artist, album, song taken from the Portable Player and are available for selection. This should be expected at 2 * 64 GB of memory (actually even 2 * 124 GB), because there fit even uncompressed thousands of songs on it. Because if you do not order structure can be found in thousands of titles almost nothing or examined too long.
A trim / search structure is an absolute must for a portable player with a large storage capacity!
Since then a nasty surprise waiting for me. The X5 takes over the title from the metadata, but not the artists and not the albums and also not to album belonging title. The X5 sorted alphabetically the title only. With nearly 3,000 songs at 2 * 64 (58.4) GB means that you can find practically anything and the title itself can necessarily be only alphabetical audition because it follows classical to punk, rock on harp music, pop to jazz, etc .. In short, a total letdown.
After sufficient demand, it was said that one should create the albums in their own folders. This means you have to rip considerable time its all music collection again and manually create folders for artists and album and then the X5 scroll through each there.
But if you constantly additions / changes has, you can not just to write that since a reorganization alpabetische the folder structure only in the PC. That is, when changing a complete copy of the whole SD card must be carried out. With 64GB of about 5-7 hours duration. This is totally unacceptable.
As I said otherwise the X5 a value for Hammer, unfortunately rather limited use. Imagine, there is no television station and you have to, in alphabetical raussuchen on TV the title of the movies that are currently running. Would you still there Watching television? Since one has to speak of a value-for-Hammer without handle.
That the German FIIO shop conceals that does not speak for its seriousness. But what the seller would have to admit. The boys have something messed me only my holiday but what does it matter! It's not your holiday, but of their customers.
The customer is what? how was that again? Oh yes, a fairy tale!
