Quoted from tacshose:Where do you guys get the audio? Is there a giant pinside Dropbox pm link I’m missing? Sadly I have TONS but all mp3 from ripping to an Elan home system.
I ripped many thousands of CDs from my collection into FLACs, 7 CDs at a time.
We'd need at least a gig or three of DB space, if you can set it up
Quoted from vid1900:Let us know if the one you get is also brand new in a **referb** box.
Mine sure appeared to be... not a scratch on it, no refurb sticker, etc.
Amazon has the HIFIMAN MegaMini High-Res Music Player for $54 right now (it was $250 not that long ago).
It only takes a single microSD card, but hey, it's not $500, it's made of metal, and audiophiles on Head-Fi seem to love it.
So if you wanted to dip you toes into audiophile playback without a big investment, this might be your man (and you can get rid of all those Amazon gift cards you got for Xmas).

Darn, just saw this and it's already back to 99. That would have been perfect.
Kinda forgot about this thread. But my "refurb"
showed up looking brand spanking new as well. Not a scratch, ding, or anything. Works perfectly. Thanks again Vid.
Now if someone could explain how I can add new albums to this without duplicating every single track that would be great.

Assuming you are on Windows:
1. Put the card into the computer, view contents in a single window.
2. Open a second window with your computer's music files.
3. Drop ONLY the new music folders into the root directory of the card.
On my cards, I have band names A-L on card #1 and M-Z on card #2
So if I was adding a new artist lets say Wiz Khalifa, I would drag the folder onto the #2 card, cuz it starts with a "W"
When you put the card(s) back in , the player will sniff out all the new music in the background.

If you were adding an additional albums at a latter date by Wiz Khalifa, you would just drop the new albums into the Wiz Khalifa folder; not the card's root.
That way all the Wiz albums would be in a single artist's folder.

The problem is when you have an artist that is in two bands.
Do you put "Hooker 'n Heat" in the John Lee Hooker folder or the Canned Heat folder? Or both because storage is so cheap now?

I was re-arranging some of my music the other day and for examples like the above I'd typically put it in a "Canned Heat - John Lee Hooker" folder. In the metadata tag for each track I'd then put the actual artist(s) on the track in the "artist(s)" field and in the "album artist(s)" field I'd put "Canned Heat - John Lee Hooker". That organizes it the way I want at both a folder level as well as it seems to organize it better (for me) when adding it to the library of whatever software I'm playing it with.
Obviously the best is whatever works for you

That makes sense.
I just put "Black Crowes & Jimmy Page - Live at the Greek" in it's own folder, rather than the Crowes folder where it normally lives.

I couldn't figure out how to file my Donny Osmond sings the hits of Frank Zappa , so I compromised and just filed under captain beefheart .
Quoted from beefzap:I couldn't figure out how to file my Donny Osmond sings the hits of Frank Zappa , so I compromised and just filed under captain beefheart .
LOL that reminded me of the mid 80s Nightline interview with Zappa, Osmond and a lady from the PMRC where basically they both agreed the PMRC proposals were dumb.

Lol... that is awesome. My dad had a copy of Troutmask Replica on vinyl, and i could never get "A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous. Got me?" out of my head....
Here's another DAP on sale, $100 and pretty good numbers. I'd probably jump on it if I hadn't snatched that XDP deal.

Darn, Vid! Don't really need it but ordered one anyway. It takes me a while to load up smaller cards than this because there are so few records on which I like all the songs. So I cherry-pick songs from numerous CDs from the same group and store them in a folder so when I select that group I hear continuous play of nothing but what I consider as their best stuff. Lots of classic rock stuff plus jazz-rock by groups such as Spyro Gyra and Fattburger and The Rippingtons (plus my own instrumental recordings).

You can create a playlist with just the songs you like, without moving the songs from their folders.
You might have "driving music", "funkyass shlt", "Showtunes", "Thrash" and "Prog Jazz"
Press the 3 little dots next to a song title, and "add to playlist"
Look at page 55 if you want a step by step:
I have been listening to this thing for a few weeks or more. Now I have two 400 gig cards and they are full.
The device is amazing. I need some better headphones but I just use and1 triple can in ears.
Again, Amazing. If you like your sound, you will not regret this purchase.
One song in the cans made the whole purchase come together quickly.
This one, but there are many others. Many.
Physical, by the revolting cocks.
Everything sounds amazing.

I'm so tempted, but since Coronavirus, I'm not out and about like I once was.
Anyone replace their battery in their Pioneer DAP? Mine doesn't hold a charge as well as it used to.
Finally got my battery from overseas. Any gotcha's in replacing the battery? Adhesives that I'll need to reapply? I had a bad and unsuccessful experience replacing a swollen cell phone battery, just hoping I don't destroy this thing.
Edit - actually, how do you even open this thing up? is this a heat-up and suction cup out the LCD situation? This may be beyond my paygrade, given how the cellphone went.
Quoted from roffels:Edit - actually, how do you even open this thing up? is this a heat-up and suction cup out the LCD situation? This may be beyond my paygrade, given how the cellphone went.
Warm the front up with a hair dryer, work a thin guitar pick under the screen, while pulling up with suction cup.
You need a roll of cell phone double sided tape to reinstall the screen.
There is a larger battery available now, that comes with the tool kit to open:

I just read that thread for the first time, lots of great information there. I've replaced a few screens myself but every time I did the replacement digitizer (that was bonded to the screen) was crap, lousy responsivness, inaccurate, etc. I think they sell a lot of rejects on ebay, aliexpress, etc.
I am now upgrading my device and ordering the parts. The battery is the easy part. However, I need to replace the audio jack. Does anyone have a listing or a part number on the jack itself.
Mine became tweaked and no longer holds the headphone jack.
I’m going to do the new battery and jack. Probably order a second of each.
Cannot find an actual parts listing with that jack number. Thanks for any help.
Quoted from vid1900:If any of you guys took pictures when you replaced your battery, can you please post a closeup of the headphone jack area?
I never got the nerve to do mine. I had a phone battery replacement go bad, killing the screen.
Because of that experience, I paid an authorized repair place to replace my current phone's battery yesterday, they also killed the screen. Not looking forward to fixing my Pioneer DAP, but it needs it. If I turn on the wifi, the DAP gets stuck in a reboot loop.
