Cool. I'll be looking out for it.

Currently I create my playlists in Windows Media Player and edit them with a text editor like Wordpad. I can edit the playlist in a couple of minutes, so it hasn't been much of a hardship.

So basically I have to take my (to be purchased yet) DVR station with me? That's ridiculous.

Do you have to plug the DVR station into a wall outlet? I don't have one available at the studio.

Well start believing.

The thing that gets me is that CDs in the stereo are too loud at max volume. Other mp3 players plugged into the stereo are fine. But not the Archos.

About getting a new stereo. It's not mine. I'm stuck with it.

This law is stupid! It sucks!!! I use my players for dance class. I plug my MP3 player into a STEREO , not my headphones, and even with both volumes maxed out the students at the ends of the room can't hear the music at all!

This has got to be changed.

And I don't have time to reencode my music to ...

With this website
http://media-convert.com/convert/
you don't need to download any software at all.

Plus they convert all kinds of files from video to music to picture even cellphone media files. And they will convert files from a website so you don't even need to upload. That's great for the ...

How about searching for arc lib (check all terms )--> first result
Thanks. This discussion confirms that in fact I did NOT have a lot of files. Maybe 200. So clearly my problem has NOT been discussed.

2) Yes, I do (or did - I formatted the drive) have files in folders (Yet another reason to choose something like the Nokia N800 over the Archos WiFi.) but I don't think that was my problem. The trouble started when I tried to move ...

ARCLibrary Update locks my WiFi up!

I start my 604 WiFi up and ARCLibrary tries to update. And it keeps updating. And it never gets done. It locks up. I've left it sitting overnight before and it's never progressed, so obviously it is locked up. How do I fix it?

Keep in mind that I can't just hook it up to my computer and delete the ...

If your playlist is too long you might want to edit your M3U in WORDpad instead of Notepad.

Um... music. I bought mine to provide music for my dance class.

Oh, and I wanted the video capabilities so I can keep a library of dance steps with me all the time. So without video it would be an expensive crappy heavy big ipod.

Oh but a big reason for me to buy it was that it was run with Linux ...

I make sure to plug mine into a surge protector. Out of luck in that regard if you want to charge it in the car.

Creating playlists

Am I the only one that has a really hard time making playlists on the Wifi? I hear people say that Archos did a great job with the software and I just don't see it. Frankly, it just plain sucks. Granted I just got mine but as far as I can see you can't play a folder without creating a playlist. What ...

USB Wall Plug Adapter

I didn't see this posted yet so I thought I would let you all know about an alternative to the DVR station or the travel adapter if all you need is to charge your Archos.

There are power adapters that allow you to charge your electronic devices through the usb cables into wall sockets or your car's ...

#1 Comply with GPL and release the source code, or at least provide a SDK.
#2 Tempo control. Be able to speed up/slow down music/videos by fairly small increments for DJs, Dance Instructors, or joggers. Must not affect pitch. Chipmunks are cute, but not all the time.

Well, I already have an MP3 player (cheapo) that has the capability so I know it's possible. But the UI of my player (especially the controls) is awful and I really want a single media player including video, which I don't have yet. The Archos Wifi seems to be the winner so far since it also has the ...

Re: 604 Wi-Fi tempo control

Really what I need it for is for music. When you speed up videos it doesn't play the sound, right?

And I don't need a lot of fine control. I'm not a DJ I'm a dance instructor. But I need more than 2x 4x. 10% can be a lot actually. The music I play (salsa) is undancably slow at about 170 beats per ...
