2.1 The arClIbrary and The MusIC brOwser

There are two types of views for you to browse through your songs:

the ARCLibrary

the Music browser

When browsing through your music, only music files are shown.

THE ARCLIbRARY

the ArcLibrary (default view) shows

your music sorted in categories

(Artist, Album, Title, Genre, etc.) if

your music files contain these tags.

When new music is added to the

Music folder of the ARCHoS

, the

ARCLibrary will need to be updated.

by default, this is done automatical-

ly, but you can choose to do it manu-

ally via the ‘Update ARCLibrary’

option in the ARCLibrary (also see:

System Settings

).

If some of your music files do not contain tags, they will be classified as

‘(Unknown)’ in the ARCLibrary.

THE MUSIC bRoWSER

the music browser allows you to

navigate the Music folder of your

device’s hard drive. It is based on

the Archos

file browser.

To use it, highlight ‘browse Hard

Drive’ in the initial ArcLibrary view

and press OK.

See:

Using the browser

.
