Editing a Playlist

To edit an existing playlist:

Highlight the playlist and use the Show playlist menu item.

You can now add, shuffle, move or remove tracks within the playlist, using the appropriate menu items.

An asterisk (*) appears after the playlist’s name in the right panel to indicate that modifications were made to the playlist and that it is unsaved.

After you have made the changes you want, save the playlist with the Save menu item, or with the Save As menu item if you wish to give it a different name.

Adding Songs to a Playlist while Listening to Music

While playing a song, choose the Playlist menu item.

A new window will open with two panels, the music files on the left and the playlist on the right.

Tap on to focus on the left panel and select the song or folder of songs to add, then choose the Add to playlist or Insert in playlist menu item to add them to the playlist.

Tap on to return to the playback screen.

Please note: this can only be done if you have entered the Music folder via the Music icon on the Home Screen and not via the Browser icon.

2.6 Putting music onto your ARCHOS device

There are two main methods to transfer your own music onto the ARCHOS:

• Synchronize your music with Windows Media® Player 10 or 11

This method requires your ARCHOS USB connection to operate in ‘Windows Media Device’ mode (see: System Settings). Windows Media® Player 10 or 11 will copy the music files you have selected directly into the Music folder of the ARCHOS.

Copy and Paste your music files from your computer into the Music folder of your ARCHOS (see Computer Connection for details on how to connect your ARCHOS device to your computer).

In order for the ARCLibrary to recognize your songs’ tags efficiently, it is advised that you keep an orderly structure for your music files, for instance by making a folder for each artist, containing a folder for each of their albums, inside which are placed individual songs.

You can easily create audio content with your computer by using Windows Media® Player 10 or 11 to convert your own CDs to MP3 or WMA format. Check the laws and regulations in your country or jurisdiction to know if private copy of your CDs for your own use is authorized.

2.7Recording AUDIO

Your ARCHOS device can record audio, via its AudioCorder function.

You will need the optional DVR Station or DVR Travel Adapter to record audio from an analog source (see Optional Functionalities to learn more about this feature).
