Like the other dude said, most likely album art rather than an actual video.

I seem to remember looking at these about a year ago and they were something like £200 or £250. Any owners able to give their personal verdict after owning one? I've got an audiophiles birthday coming up and this sounds a reasonable main gift.

was you not looking at the X5 for that sort of price?

I have a Fiio X3 mk1 as the player on the iPhone 6 was so poor, and I was sick of iTunes.
It does produce a great output but you need a decent set of headphones to appreciate it. It also plays flac files and has a micro sd slot so you can add loads of music. What I don't like about it is the screen, it's not good, but I am listening to music not admiring album art.

I've owned one for these for a year and the sound quality is excellent for the price (especially when paired with a decent set of headphones) but the UI is pretty terrible and takes some getting used to. They do still occasionally release firmware updates for it though. It does not do video and if anything the screen is a little dark. Overall though i do not regret purchasing it and at this price it's a steal.
looks like a bit of an old fashioned ipod! so does this have specialist audio hardware, rather than just wide support for various lossless formats?

Shame it doesn't support full size SD cards as I'd pop a 512GB card in one of these.
Hopefully the O/S is better than that of the iPod Classic which wasn't updated for years before it was discontinued.
According to the deal details yes it does.

I bought the Fiio X1 last year and it is a great budget option for listening to high-resolution audio. £79.99 is the cheapest price I've seen.

Excellent little player. But remember, it's nothing without decent source music and some good headphones. If you're gonna load it with MP3, then just don't bother.

Yes, you are saving money on the listed price, but the newer model is worth the extra £20, in my opinion.
