It is a system for indexing your music by album, artist, song title, etc. When you synchronize music files from your PC using Windows Media® Player to the Gmini™ 500, the ARCLibrary will get updated to include the new songs you have added. As shown in this screen capture, you can select your music by Artist, Album, Song Title, Genre, or Year. All music files that you purchase have internal 'tags' which identify the artist, the album, and the song title. If your music files do not have internal tags (ex: WAV file format or untagged WMA or MP3 files) then the ARCLibrary will put them under the category (Unknown). Audio files created with the Gmini™ 500 from analog sources are indexed as Artist = (ARCHOS) and Album = (Audio Recordings). You can reach the PlayMode settings screen from the Setup action icon > PlayMode. The play mode determines how your music is played (just the current folder of music, all music, one file, etc.). See Playmode in the section Settings for a description of how each one works. 26
