Highlight the fi le to edit and select
Edit from the fi le menu. Only fi les
which have been created with the
Gmini ™ 402 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 how your
edit sounds.
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 REC0000.wav
will be made. Your original fi le is
left untouched. You will notice that
your Cut-IN and Cut-OUT times are
marked just above the fi le name.

MUSIC – Putting Music onto your Gmini ™ 402
Your Archos ™ product is a certifi ed PlaysForSure ™ digital device
which means that wherever you fi nd music for sale or for
subscription on the Internet with this symbol, you can be
certain that it will ‘Play for sure’ on your Gmini ™ 402*.
The Gmini ™ 402 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.
6.1 Synchronizing Music from Windows Media ® Player to the Gmini ™ 402
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 Gmini ™ 402 so
that you have the same digital media on your Gmini ™ 402 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 Gmini ™ 402 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 Gmini ™ 402. You also have the possibility to decide what types
of media automatically sync when you connect your Gmini ™ 402. 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
Gmini ™ 402 to your computer.
