3.1 Playing a Music File

By clicking on the Music icon in the main menu screen, you will enter into a ‘music only’ mode. File types other than WMA, WAV, and MP3 that may be in those folders will be filtered from view.

There are two ways to access your music, by selecting Browse storage (Internal Memory) or by searching the songs’ tag information, Artist, Album, Title, etc. In the case of Browse storage (Internal Memory), you will be sent directly to the Music folder of your ARCHOS 105. Here you can look at all your music files and the folders of your ARCHOS 105 as if you were browsing files with a computer. The other way is to browse your music by tag information, artist, album, song name, year, or genre. The Unknown category indicates that the file has no tag data.

To select a music file, use the navigation controls UP and DOWN to move upwards or downwards and ENTER to enter a highlighted subfolder or tag category. Click ENTER to play the highlighted song. Use LEFT to leave a folder and go back to the previous level.
