5.2.6Changing the System Settings

To change the system parameters or get some information about the

system, go to [Setup Î System].

Parameter	Description
Show all files	Off (default), On.
	If Off, the Gmini will only display the file names of files that it knows how
	to play. If set to On, the Jukebox will display the names of ALL the files
	on the hard drive (using a ? icon for unknown types), even if they cannot
	be played, such as .tif or .pdf for example. This setting is important when
	the Jukebox is used with the Photo Wallet software plug-in. Setting it to
	ON will allow the Jukebox to transfer all the files from the card media
	regardless of file type. If set to OFF, it will only read file types that the
	Gmini is capable of handling.
Music Library	Off, On (default).
	Select Off to disable the ARCLibrary feature or On to enable it.
Language	English, Français, Deutsch.
	Use this to set the operating language of the Gmini.
Product key	Displays the product key of your Gmini100. This product key is important
	as you will need it to install new software plug-ins.
OS Version	Displays the current version of the Operating System (OS).
Hard Disk	Displays amount of free space and used space of the Gmini hard drive.

ATTENTION: Changing the ARCLibrary parameter will only take effect after the next restart of the Gmini.

5.3Using the Browser

The browser is used to navigate the file system on the Gmini. The file system is the same type of file system that is found on Windows® based computers. This way, transferring files from your computer to your Gmini is as easy as ‘drag and drop’. The file

system is a hierarchical system which includes folders and subfolders. Because you will be putting hundreds of files onto your Gmini, it is STRONGLY ADVISED that keep a neat and orderly file structure. Otherwise, you will be spending time searching for files and not listening to them. We suggest that on the first level of your file structure, you include the folders: Data (to carry miscellaneous data files with you), Music (all of your music files), Playlists (to hold all your music Playlists), Photo (for the files you copy from CompactFlash™ cards*), and Voice (for microphone recordings*).

*This functionality requires an optional software plug-in. See the Archos web site for details.

5.3.1Inside the MUSIC Folder

The top level of your Archos Gmini includes the folder Music. Most people who create neat file structures for their Archos MP3 players make the following hierarchy within the Music folder.

Level 1 – Artist (Dire Straits, Madonna, Stravinsky, etc.)

Level 2 – Album (Brothers in Arms, American life, etc.)

Level 3 – Song (Money for Nothing, Walk of Life, etc.)

The folder Music is a special folder in that the Music icon on the main screen leads to this folder directly. If it is deleted or renamed, you will be placed at the root level (highest level) of the directory hierarchy.

5.3.2Navigating the Directory Structure

Just below the top status bar, you can see the path to the directory you are currently viewing. To navigate the directory structure you will use the UP/DOWN buttons to move through the files in a directory. Press PLAY to enter a highlighted folder. To go back up

one level in the directory structure, you can either use the contextual MENU button (select Parent) or click on LEFT button. The contextual MENU button allows you to create new folders, delete folders, rename a file or folder, or display information about a file.
