Archos XS series 4 Playlists

4 Playlists

A Playlist is a list of songs that the Gmini will automatically play one after the other. The Gmini can handle one Playlist at a time. You can create

new Playlists, add or delete songs from a Playlist, or Save a P laylist as a file (fi le type .m3u) to be used another time. There is no limit to the

number of Playlists you can save on the Gmini hard drive.

To create a Playlist, press the RIGHT button while you are in the Music browser. A second panel is opened on

the right side to display the Playlist contents (shown empty in the picture). You can now start adding songs to the

current Playlist. In the left window, search for the songs you would like to add to your Playlist. Once the song is

highlighted, click on the ENTER button to add it to the Playlist. The song will be added to the Playlist and a small

mark is placed next to the music note icon to indicate that it is now in the Playlist. Continue searching and adding

songs in this manner until you are satisfied. You can jump back and forth anytime between the two windows by

clicking the LEFT/RIGHT of the joystick. A Playlist can have a maximum of 1000 songs in it. We recommend that

you save you r Playlists to the Gmini hard drive (see below) to be used again later. You can also add all the

music files of a complete folder in one operation by highlighting the desired folder and pressing and holding

ENTER for three seconds. Watch which window you are in since the left window menu has different options than

the right window menu.

You can load a previously saved Playlist or add the files it contains to the current Playlist. Use the music browser

to select the Playlist of your choice (Playlists are indicated by a special list icon) and then press OK. If there

were already some items in the Gmin i Playlist, then the songs of the loaded Playlist wi ll be added to the end of it.

You can then check or modify the Playlist as usual in the Playlist window.

Press the RIGHT button to go into the Playlist edition window. Then use the UP and DOWN buttons to

select which song you want to start with. Click on ENTER, and your playlist will start playing with from

that song.
