ARCHOS 43 USER MANUAL Once one is found and selected, you will be presented with a list of media types including Pictures. Choose Pictures to start viewing the pictures stored in the Windows® Media Library. 10. MUSIC The music player application offers many functions. Not all of them are explained below. Hold down on an item or tap on the menu icon if you are in doubt about what options are available to you. When you leave the music playback screen while a song is still playing, it will keep playing in the background. This allows you to browse your internal memory, view your photos or surf the Web while listening to music. Regardless of what you are doing on your device while the music is playing, you will be able to access the music playback screen by pulling down the top notification bar . 10.1. Browsing through your music files Here you see the music library screen with the cover-roll album art display on the left. Scroll the albums vertically to see all the albums stored on your device or scroll it horizontally to see your Favorites, Recently added, Recently played, or All albums. If your music files do not include cover art, then a standard cover icon will appear. You can browse through your music by album, artist, or song name, via your created play lists, your favorites, or as files and folders in the storage* system. If some of your music files do not contain information tags, they will be classified as (Unknown) in the Music Library. If not already present, the music player widget can be placed on one of the five home screens to give you quick access to your recently added and recently played music. * In addition to the internally stored music, you will see the option External in Storage. This allows you to play music from media servers or from a file server over your WiFi network. 10.1.1. CREATING PLAYLISTS A playlist is a list of audio tracks that the music player will automatically play one after the other (in order or randomly). You can play, create and edit as many playlists as you want. To create or add to a playlist, find a song or an album in the music browser and hold your finger down on it to bring up the list of options. Select Add to playlist, and then you have the option of putting it into an already established playlist or creating a new play list. When you delete a playlist (hold your finger down on the name of playlist then select delete), you are only deleting the list and not the music itself. 10.1.2. THE FAVORITES LIST The "Favorites" is where you keep the music you play the most often. To add a title, an album, or an artist to your favorites list, just hold down on the item and a few options will appear. Choose Add to favorites. The item will be marked with a star icon . To access your favorites list at any time, go to the cover-roll browsing screen and flick the albums left/right until you see http://www.archos.com/manuals/A43_EN_v1.htm[2/24/2011 2:48:47 PM]
