Yooo.. nice. So is it just a direct port from another device ?

[diegopau]

Amazing, I will probably get the M3k as a replacement for my Clip Zip

[Njones]

Waiting with great anticipation!

Here we go!
Rockbox for the FiiO M3K is available on my site:
http://xvtx.ru/rockbox/download.htm

- Based on the stock FW v1.3.0 (which has also been optimized for speed and memory usage).
- It is flashed like a regular firmware (...and rolls back also).
- Almost everything works, but minor bugs will be fixed over time.

You should install it as regular update: https://www.fiio.com/newsinfo/82055.html

Enjoy!
(and please consider a donation for me or/and rb team if You'd like it).

P.S. source code will available later, when all settle a bit.

Cool just making sure, this will be my first rockbox device so I'm brand new to this. I'll probably wait till it gets ironed out a little more, just one question though, how is the scrolling? I'm at 13000 tracks and it's torture scrolling through long lists on this thing

Rockbox does an incremental speed-up as you go through a list with the button held down

Thanks. Installed easily. Works great. So much more info on the while playing screen! Will the FiiO X1genII be next?

Will the FiiO X1genII be next?

Not from me, sorry. FiiO M5 probably be next...

Thanks for the quick update

Out of curiosity, why isn't this port listed on the main Rockbox website?

Just an update, im returning the m3k in favor of the fiio m6. this rockbox release constantly freezes my device at different menus, as well as destroying the amazing battery life. i also couldnt get it to boot back into stock fiio software while rockbox is installed. all in all its not worth the trouble, if you have a lot of music avoid the m3k, if you like a working m3k avoid the releases as of this post.

Oh, that's disappointing to hear.  I bought an M3K instead of the M6 simply because of this port.  It hasn't shipped yet, so I still have time to cancel my order.

FiiO M5 would be quite cool. Any chance of a port for the Shanling M0? It looks somewhat similar the FiiO M5 at first glance.
