MUSIC – Putting Music onto your AV 500

Your Archos

™

product is a certiﬁ ed PlaysForSure

™

digital device which means that wherever

you ﬁ nd music for sale on the Internet with this symbol, you can be certain that it will ‘Play for

sure’ on your AV 500*.

The AV 500 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.

11.1 Synchronizing Music from Windows Media

Player (WMP) to the AV 500

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 AV 500 so that you have the

same digital media on your AV 500 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 AV 500 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 AV 500. You also have the

possibility to decide what types of media automatically sync when you connect

your AV 500. 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 AV 500

to your computer.

Note for WMP10 users: Files added to your AV 500 from another computer or ﬁ les which are recorded from an analog

source cannot be added to the Windows Media

Player Library when you connect your AV 500 to the computer. Songs

which have been added, will however, be listed in the device’s ARCLibrary.

11.2 Comparison of Windows Media Player 10 to Windows Media Player 9

Windows

Media Player 10 is only available for Windows

XP (service Pack 1) and newer operating systems. It

is worth your while to upgrade to Windows

XP (home or professional) and to Windows

Media Player 10. The

list below shows the advantages.
