Please note: There is currently a software bug which prevents HiBy R1 / R3 II 2025 units from connecting to Apple Mac computers. Customers are advised to use the WiFi music transfer function or copy files directly to the SD card in order to get music onto the player.

HiBy is aware of the issue and is working to resolve this issue via firmware update.
