MUSIC – Using iTunes

™

with your AV 500

The easiest way to transfer music ﬁ les between a Macintosh

computer and your AV 500 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 500 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 500 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 500 as a ‘Device’.

Attention

Your AV 500 needs to be set to “Hard drive” mode (see the section System

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

AV 500 to/from your PC on how to do this.)

Please keep in mind the following:

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 ACC 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 500), your Macintosh

will save these Playlists to the root directory of your AV 500. It will not save

them to the AV 500 Playlists directory. It would be best to use the AV 500 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 500, 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 500 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 500 convention of placing the music into

the Music folder ﬁ rst.

PHOTO – Viewing Photos

The AV 500 series support the viewing of JPEG (.jpg) and Bitmap (.bmp) image formats. Progressive

JPEG images are not supported. The AV 500 will resize the image to ﬁ t on the built-in screen or on a

television screen if you choose the television output. When you are in the Photo mode, it means that

only ﬁ les of type JPEG or BMP will be visible in the directory. Other ﬁ le types will not be visible. The

three images on the right are thumbnail sized pictures of the highlighted ﬁ le (center) and the picture

just before and just after the highlighted ﬁ le. Select the Photo icon, then click Enter o in order to go to

the Photo directory.

15.1 Viewing Photos

When you click Enter o on a highlighted image ﬁ le, the AV 500 will display the

image in full screen mode. Displayed as a full screen image, you can rotate it,

magnify it, or set it as the AV 500 screen background with the Save as Wallpaper

function in the File Management action icon.
