Archos AV 700 Series MUSIC Using iTunes, with your AV 700

• Validate and Save the edit. The ﬁ le will be saved with the word ”edit” appended to the ﬁ le name in the same

folder as the original.

• If you do not want to save your modiﬁ cations, click the STOP/ESC button and select OK.

Highlight the ﬁ le to edit and select the File Management action icon.

Choose Edit . Only ﬁ les which have been created with the AV 700

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 the changes to the edit as you make them.

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 REC0001_Edit will be

made. Your original ﬁ le is left untouched. You will notice that your Cut

In and Cut Out times are marked just below the ﬁ le name.

MUSIC – Using iTunes

with your AV 700

The easiest way to transfer music ﬁ les between a Macintosh® computer and your A V 700 is to use the Macintosh

Finder™ to drag and drop the ﬁ les to and from your Macintosh®. However, for Macintosh® users who do want to

use the AV 700 with iTunes®, ARCHOS™ has developed a special i-Tunes® plug-in. You will ﬁ nd it in the folder

/Data/i-Tunes Plug-in on the AV 700 hard drive or at the ARCHOS™ website. In this folder you will ﬁ nd a plug-in

for Mac OS 9.x and another folder for Mac OS 10.x. You will also ﬁ nd a JPEG image illustrating where you need

to copy the plug-in to. Once this is done, iTunes™ will recognize the AV 700 as a ‘Device’. Please keep in mind

the following:

Attention

Your AV 700 needs to be set to “Hard drive” mode (see the section System

Settings in the Settings chapter or the chapter Connecting/Disconnecting the

AV 700 to/from your PC on how to do this.)

1) Music purchased at Apple’s on-line music store are copy protected with a proprietary encryption system. The

ARCHOS™ device will not be able to play this purchased music or ﬁ les in AAC format which you might have

created. It will happily play MP3 format ﬁ les without problem.

2) When you create your Playlists with iTunes® (you can only create Playlists from songs that have been copied

to your AV 700), your Macintosh® will save these Playlists to the root directory of your AV 700. It will not save

them to the AV 700 Playlists directory. It would be best to use the AV 700 itself to make Playlists and then save

these Playlists in your Playlists folder. (See section Creating a Playlist in chapter Music –Playlists )

3) When you drag and drop MP3 ﬁ les from your iTunes® library to your AV 700, the i-Tunes® program will look at

the ID3 tag information of the MP3 ﬁ le, and create a folder on the root of your AV 700 using the name of the

Artist as the folder name. Then it will take the Album name ID3 tag, and create a subfolder with that album as

its name. Finally, it will take the MP3 song itself and place it into that album subfolder. Thus, although it is a

clean structure of artists and albums, i-Tunes® does not follow the AV 700 convention of placing the music into

the Music folder ﬁ rst.
