path to find them. If you delete a Playlist from your Gmini, you are only deleting the list and not the music itself. Because a Playlist includes the path to the music file (as shown in the example Playlist file above), you have to remember that if you change the location of a music file, then the path to it in the Playlist will be incorrect, and the Gmini will not play the song (because it can’t find it). Thus it is important to create a clean directory structure and not change where your files are located. Either that or just delete your Playlist and create a new one.

5.2Changing the Gmini Settings

There are a number of parameters you can set on the Gmini to make it operate according to your particular needs. Start by clicking on Setup.

Customizing the equalizer

To set the equalizer, highlight the [Set equalizer] line and then click on OK. You will now be able to adjust the Gmini’s five band equalizer. Use the LEFT/RIGHT buttons to select a specific frequency range (Bass, Medium-Base, Medium, Medium-Treble, Treble) and then use the UP/DOWN buttons to increase or decrease the response for the given frequency

range. Modifying these settings changes the sound in real time. Thus it is best to change these values while listening to a song.
