Loading music onto the R3 II from a Mac
The HiBy R3 II transfers over USB mass storage. Mounts its microSD card as a USB drive on the Mac — drag folders straight on.
Diskoteca handles this for you: pick the albums and playlists, and it fills the device — converting formats on the fly when the player needs it. See how device sync works or read which format to put on your DAP.
Specs change with firmware, and we occasionally get one wrong. If something here doesn't match your R3 II, email us — we read everything.
Got a HiBy? Feed it properly.
Diskoteca rips your CDs, fixes the tags, and syncs the result straight to this player.
