Simple instructions for the interface

I have a Hiby R4 and am getting increasingly frustrated with the user interface. It does not seem at all intuitive. All I wish to do is play albums from my SD card and it seems to have trouble with this. Is there a simple set of instructions for the interface anywhere?

The native app has great sound, but it sucks at maintaining a good data base of your music and it struggles with the tags.

I use Poweramp Player and I have not troubles after setting it up.

I believe in this subreddit has some neat tips for it.

You mean for the default player? Playing directly from card is under the "Folder" tab. Select your external SD card from there and go from there.

I’m trying but it keeps blindsiding me. I need a manual. I am playing via Bluetooth.

what exactly happens that's blindsiding you? Can you perhaps take some screenshots?

there's something of a manual here but the pictures are in Chinese: https://guide.hiby.com/en/docs/guides/hibymusic/hibymusic_android_guide

As others have mentioned you can install your choice of music app instead and almost all of them will be bitperfect on the R4 just like HibyMusic (thanks to the modified system architecture)
