3.3 Playback Menu Items

When the menu icon appears, you have certain options. During song playback, press the MENU

button for the following options.

• Setup: Enters the Setup screen (same as selecting the Setup icon

in the main menu) which allows you access to parameters such as

bass and treble.

• Info: Show ﬁ le information such as the ﬁ le name, ﬁ le size, date created, ﬁ le

format, etc.

• ARCLibrary: Allows you to browse through your ARCLibrary while listening to the

current song.

• Edit Playlist: Enters the playlist editor (see below how to use Playlists).

• Set Bookmark: Set a bookmark at the current position within the audio ﬁ le. See

the Bookmark section below.

3.4 ARCLibrary Speciﬁ cs

The ARCLibrary is a system for choosing your music by its characteristics. It can be

turned On or Off in the settings from Setup > Playmode . As shown in this screen

capture here, you can select your music by Artist, Album, Song Title, Genre, or

Year. MP3 and WMA music ﬁ les have internal data tags to hold information about

the song. For MP3 ﬁ les, these are known as ID3 tags. Not all MP3 ﬁ les have all

this information ﬁ lled in. If you purchase a song from a music download service,

the song will have this information. If you have an MP3 or WMA ﬁ le without this tag

information, then you can add or change it by going to the properties of the ﬁ le in

Windows® Explorer. The ARCLibrary indexes all the music and playlists that it ﬁ nds

in the folders Music and Playlists by using the tag information in each song. Thus,

you should never delete the folders Music or Playlists . If a song does not have

tags, it will be put into the category <unknown> .

3.5 ARCLibrary Updating

If you paste audio ﬁ les from your computer to the ARCHOS 105, they go directly in the ARCHOS 105’s internal

memory without the ARCLibrary knowing about the new song. This is why the ARCLibrary is updated when

you disconnect your ARCHOS 105 from the computer. Alternatively, you can set up the ARCLibrary to update

only when you choose to, by setting it to On, not automatic. You can ﬁ nd the information on how to do this

in the section Playmode in the Settings chapter. You will then have to go to the Setup > Playmode screen,

highlight [Update ARCLibrary] and press ENTER. A message screen will appear indicating that it is updating

the ARCLibrary contents.

3.6 Setting a Bookmark

If you are listening to a song, or perhaps a long recording, and would like to place a bookmark in it in order to

pick up from this point at another time, you can use the Bookmark function. While listening to the audio recording,

simply click on the MENU button, then choose Set Bookmark . This will set a bookmark in the audio ﬁ le at the

current position. You can only set one bookmark per ﬁ le. In your browser, bookmarked music ﬁ les appear with

this icon: . You can have a maximum of 16 ﬁ les bookmarked. Setting more bookmarks will erase existing

bookmarks, starting with the oldest. The next time you play the audio ﬁ le, you will be presented with three

options:

Resume: Start playing from the bookmarked position.

Ignore: Keep the bookmark but start playing from the very beginning.

Clear: Clear the bookmark from this ﬁ le and start playing from the very beginning .

3.7 The Resume Function

When you turn on your ARCHOS 105 you will sometimes notice that the icon which is highlighted on

the main screen is not the Browser but rather the Resume icon. This icon is highlighted when the

ARCHOS 105 can resume the last played audio ﬁ le.
