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! :-)

Bother!
Considering that this web page shows a MBP with an open iTunes application suggests it can. Contact the manufacturer for details.

Ciao.
In a word, no. I have tried Rage (the App!) XLD, and a few others . The answer as yet seems to be to drag and drop to the micro sd cards, tedious though it is. If anyone finds a simple soultion, please post.

So please tell me HOW do i get music onto this player ? , i have now got my itunes lib on it but im stuck as i have music from all different sources. I really should have got the new SONY player as that incorporated ANDROID, so then i could listen to my SPOTIFY lib which has hundreds of songs and albums on it.
Very disapointing player
Have a look at Map-Pin - they have an app called Dapper to do this: Dapper
I Have had success with doubleTwist software on the Mac with 1 sd card
If somebody's using Windows OS, you might use this:

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.
TTry using ponomusicworld I'm syncing all my iTunes music and iso flac wma files galore
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.
SHAME ON YOUR COMPANY. HOW DARE YOU SELL MP3 PLAYERS THAT ARE UNBELIEVABLY HARD TO SYNC TO ITUNES, IF THEY WILL AT ALL, WITHOUT TELLING PROSPECTIVE BUYERS THIS. I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FIIO PRODUCE.
The person you've responded to doesn't work for FIIO.
iTunes only syncs with Apple devices.
Most third party devices will allow you to drag in content from Finder/Explorer.
