9:02 - Oh my god. AIMP!!! I used to use that on PC! It was a "Winamp Alternative" that used a different decoder to get higher quality sound (allegedly).

[@landrodaoud1531]

-Does it play video clips directly into mp3 or do I have to convert them before? -If i interrupt a song or a video clip in my playlist, does the track or clip restart from the beginning when i get back into the app? -And is there a random play mode, both for clips and tracks?

[@KennethDial777]

What are the options for the settings?

[@mana_beast_beats1114]

What is it using as the Main player??? Not the AIMP secondary player, I mean the Main. Is it Hiby????

[@KnightSparhawk]

Anyone know where I can find this in the UK?

[@markerf16]

How does it sound? Did I miss that?

[@slipknotmfkrlocust8843]

I've had 2 of these. Both after some time just fail to charge. First one lasted about 5 months, the second one lasted about 2. If you don't mind going in and replacing the USB-C port constantly then you probably won't mind, but for me and most others who dont have that know how, I wouldn't reccomend this.

[@PC-mf8sg]

I'd like to fall asleep to podcasts. Is there any way to use a timer with this?

[@wsdmsage]

thinking of getting one for audiobooks if it can sideload apks this is good for me

[@bikersoncall]

I need a player that will organize my music folders aphanumerically or aphabetically, showing on-screen, so I can scroll through them logically, and predictably, sequentially, for example; Set 1, set 2, set 3, etc, or A, B, C or, 1a 2b 3b. I also need to be able to play all tunes within a Folder automatically. I have two tablets and some Mp3 players already, some will do one feature, but none can do both.

[@phonetech1640]

yep looks like you can side load apks (even though there's no official Google Play Store on it...apks can be downloaded using the web browser or dragged over from a computer)...here's what another user said "if you wanted to use this for more than just the included functionality, you CAN side-load Android APK files to install new applications. I did that to put a few cute games on it, but major apps that are closely tied to Google services such as KZbin and Gmail will not work. But that shouldn't be expected, this is a media player after all that happens to run a popular OS under the hood."

[@jsnotlout3312]

Any Idea how they did it? I've been messing around but unable to get it to sideload an app

[@1meancyberbully329]

@@jsnotlout3312 you figure anything out?

[@jsnotlout3312]

@@1meancyberbully329 Sadly, no. I was never able to get passed the android debug bridge, as I couldn't turn on developer mode. Got somewhat far tho

[@respectthejj3438]

Can you install apks?

[@ilanshtrikman6668]

Is it possible to turn off the screen while continue listening?(for sleeping), I actually need it for listening to language course while sleeping, is it suitable?

[@jsnotlout3312]

yes

[@muthaucka]

I am looking to get one of these. But anyone know if these devices can be connected to a cars head unit via Android Auto, or bluetooth and have the head unit control the MP3 player?

[@Someone_Else190]

No because android auto needs android 10 or later and this runs 4.0.

[@sebastianmartineztorres8602]

Is Hi-res?

[@tomyyoung2624]

cool!

[@overjok]

nice video, we can put spotify? tkx

[@wendys5094]

Can you help me figure out why some songs will display artist/album, but most do not. I bought this for my child who doesn't read yet, but recognizes the artists. I've tried everything!

[@hornplayer1228]

Those details are embedded in the files as tags. In many cases the tags have been stripped out using a page editor. The tags can effect the way songs are displayed in the MP3 player file menu so I usually strip them out.

[@marialuo9639]

Hi, it does not support WMA format.

[@kevinmahoney9205]

You didn't cover battery life at all. What I'm most interested in right now is bluetooth. I'm looking for an MP3 player small enough to put in my pants pocket when I go running. But just about every MP3 player I looked at so far, people complain their bluetooth earbuds cut out when they put it in their pocket.

[@mwatts-riley2688]

will I be able to see my Yahoo mail or banking, if I'm on the Wi-Fi? oh please say yes. 📻 M. Illinois.

[@Andersljungberg]

want access to streaming service that is probably the point of wifi. so that you can then listen offline mode to hear music from eg Tidal, Qobus, Apple music. Although there is a risk that the Android version is also too old for some apps

[@mana_beast_beats1114]

0:56 ...Did you say.... 70 hours???? Jeeeez. Not even Fiio's android running DAPs get that kind of Runtime.

[@ziaurkhan9908]

Don't publish multiple videos on the same day. KZbin's algorithm can prevent some of the videos from showing up in your subscriber's feed.

[@depafeo]

what's the point of using an old android os that doesn't even have play store? You can't even download apps like tidal and spotify. I have a feeling this device is going to stop working in 6 months

[@chronocr7232]

Well you can sideload apks

[@depafeo]

@@chronocr7232 sideloading apks on an 8 year old os running on cheap hardware sounds like a great user experience.

[@plethysmo]

Bingo. I've had mine about 6 months and Windows 10 no longer recognizes so I can not load/unload mp3 files anymore.

[@antoniocenteno1483]

​@@depafeoSound IS still way better than on a phone. Non of us would be looking for MP4 players if Phones sound as good
