A very rapid response from Fiio seems to settle it:


Kindly inform you that, only the iDevice can receive the music from the iTunes without "drag and drop" from the library. You can't transfer the music from the iTunes to the X5 directly, if you want to transfer the iTunes music from a mac to the X5, you need to copy (drag and drop) the music from the library. If any inconvenience, pls understand! :-)

More dynamic information about FiiO's products, you can become a fan on our Facebook or log in our official website (fiio.net) to know better.

Have a nice day! ^_^

No. You will need your microSD card first of all. Next you would want to go into Preferences in iTunes and point your library to your microSD card, then place all your songs that you want on the card, into your iTunes library, effectively syncing them. You could also get Sandisk Media Manager which can also sync to the card and reads more formats than just what iTunes supports.

Point it how? The card is mounted, and I'm looking at Devices Preferences, but it doesn't show up there, and there's no "add" button that I see. I would really like for this to work, but the options I see are for i- devices, seemingly.


My iPod has died. I want to put the library onto this new device. I want playlists, because it only wants to dump everything into huge common folders, which is slightly better than useless, but not much.
