About the player:

Player freezes: Press and hold the Power button for 8 seconds to reset the device. The status light will turn off, and all settings will revert to factory defaults.
Can't hear music when playing: Check if the volume is too low, if your earphone is properly plugged in and undamaged, and if your music file format is supported and not corrupted.
Can't load music to H2: Ensure the H2 is correctly connected to your computer, that it's in [USB Mode] – [USB], that the MicroSD card is correctly inserted and undamaged, and that you have music files on the MicroSD card.
Can I load and play audible books? Yes, if the books are on your PC/laptop in a compatible file format.
Forced gap between tracks on playback (e.g., live album)? There is a gapless option available in the [Music Settings] menu.
Should music files be loaded using a folder structure (e.g., Artist) or flat at the root folder? Both methods work. Using folders is suggested for easier navigation.
Is there a song limit? Yes, the limit is 15000 songs.
Can you adjust the volume on the device when using Bluetooth? Yes, if your Bluetooth headphones have volume controls.
Is the HIFIWalker compatible with iTunes? No, it is not compatible with iTunes. It functions like an external hard drive. You plug it in, an option to open it as a folder appears, and you drag and drop your music files.

Does this player have noise cancelling and does it show album art easily? The player itself does not have a noise-cancelling feature, but the included earphones support passive noise cancelling. The player does not support album art display.
Will this player play an entire SD card's worth of music in random setting (other than just in track or album)? Yes, it will play the entire collection of songs in random mode. Set the player to random mode and select "songs" rather than albums, artists, or genres.
When upgrading the SD card, do you have to do anything extra? Can you simply just add a new card and go? It's recommended to plug the new card into a computer first to ensure it's formatted. If not, format it. Then, plug it into the HIFI Walker and load your music. Alternatively, you can load music onto the SD card directly from your computer before inserting it into the HIFI Walker. Users have reported success with simply dragging music onto a 256 GB card, maintaining folder structures.
What do I need to download my CDs in WAV onto this player? Refer to http://www.wikihow.com/Copy-CD-to-MP3. Make sure to choose WAV (lossless format) instead of MP3 format.
Does the Hifi Walker support WPL or other playlist files? Can you create playlists on a PC and load them into the SD card? The HIFI WALKER H2 supports *.m3u and *.m3u8 playlist files. Software like foobar2000 (http://www.foobar2000.org/) can help create these. The .m3u/.m3u8 file needs to be at the root folder of the SD card, but the folder containing your target music does not.
How can the battery be replaced? The unit is sealed, making battery replacement impossible.
Does the player have a bookmark? Yes, the player has a bookmark feature. Navigate to [Music Setting] – [Memory Play] – [Point] to activate it.
Can I just drag my music folder over on the SD card (1600 songs in 1 folder)? Yes, you can drag your music into the H2's folder. The player recognizes single folders with up to 1600 music files.
Is it possible to create a playlist on the go without a computer? Yes, but you can only add songs to [My favorites]. You cannot customize the playlist name without a computer.
When would you adjust the gain setting rather than volume? Adjusting the gain setting (High/Low) provides a higher output if needed and helps accommodate different headphone impedances (e.g., 8 ohms to 64 ohms). A higher gain setting makes 8-ohm headphones louder than 64-ohm headphones at the same gain. The gain setting offers flexibility in controlling the audio output.
Can I stream Spotify, Pandora, etc., from my Android phone via Bluetooth to this HIFI WALKER H2 to enjoy the sound quality? Yes, the H2 supports high-quality Bluetooth streaming from services like Spotify, Pandora, etc.
