• 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.

1 14 4 MUSIC – Using iTunes MUSIC – Using iTunes ™ ™ with your AV 700 with your AV 700
The easiest way to transfer music fi les between a Macintosh ® computer and your AV 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.
