Just updated a new player, I found I could not get playlists to work, looks like this was due to the firmware defaulting the USB mode to MSC - this isn’t useful for most people I think. Note - I used the manual method as the windows updater utility didn’t do anything, failed to install (silently).
No, updating the firmware reverts the settings back to Auto Defect which connects by defalut in MTP mode whenever possible. You should never use your player in this mode. Manually select either MTP or MSC.
You may disagree, but MSC mode is overwhelmingly the preferred USB connection mode for the vast majority of people. the only reason MTP even exists is to ‘sync’ up with Windows Media Player and transfer permission codes on DRM-crippled files.
