Highlight the ﬁ le to edit and select

Edit from the ﬁ le menu. Only ﬁ les

which have been created with the

Gmini™ 402 recording function will

show Edit in the ﬁ le menu. Files

created from CDs or downloaded

cannot be edited. Once you enter

the edit mode, the audio ﬁ le will

play in a continuous loop so that

you will be able to hear how your

edit sounds.

Use the fast-reverse and fast-

forward buttons (LEFT/RIGHT

buttons) to locate the points you

want the new ﬁ le to start and end.

These are the cut-IN and cut-OUT

points. Once you have set these

points, you can save the edit. In this

example, a new ﬁ le REC0000.wav

will be made. Your original ﬁ le is

left untouched. You will notice that

your Cut-IN and Cut-OUT times are

marked just above the ﬁ le name.

MUSIC – Putting Music onto your Gmini™ 402

Your Archos™ product is a certiﬁ ed PlaysForSure™ digital device

which means that wherever you ﬁ nd music for sale or for

subscription on the Internet with this symbol, you can be

certain that it will ‘Play for sure’ on your Gmini™ 402*.

The Gmini™ 402 is designed to work seamlessly with Windows

Media® Player (WMP) versions 9 and 10. The Windows Media® Player

software is used to download digital media content from the Internet

to your computer and organizing it. You will also use it to synchronize

(copy) the contents of your Windows Media® Player media library to your

Archos™ device. See the comparison chart below for an explanation of the

different features available when running Windows Media Player 9 and 10

or check out the web site www.playsforsure.com.

*Subscription services require you to be running Windows Media® Player

10.

6.1 Synchronizing Music from Windows Media® Player to the Gmini™ 402

The Synchronize button in Windows Media® Player

(WMP) is a one way ‘sync’ button. That is, it will add

music, video, and photo ﬁ les to your Gmini™ 402 so

that you have the same digital media on your Gmini™ 402 as you have in

your Windows Media® Player media library. Of course,

you can choose to sync only certain songs, videos, or

photos, or sync your entire library. On WMP10, you

can click the button Set up Sync in the Sync tab and

then check the box labeled Synchronize Device Automatically. This is

the auto-sync advantage of WMP10. If this box is checked, then each

time you connect your Gmini™ 402 to your PC, Windows Media® Player

will automatically start up and check to see if there are any new music,

videos, or photos in your media library, and if so, will then copy them

to your Gmini™ 402. You also have the possibility to decide what types

of media automatically sync when you connect your Gmini™ 402. For

example, you may only want music ﬁ les to be synchronized. On the other

hand, with Windows Media® Player 9, you have to tell it what you want

to sync, WMP9 cannot synchronize automatically when you connect your

Gmini™ 402 to your computer.
