Question about Archos Gmini XS 202s (20 GB) MP3 Player

Problems syncing play list with PC

When I try to download songs I've purchased from MSN music, on to the player it keeps coming up with an error that because my PC can't access the internal clock, it can't transfer the songs. I've set windows media player to always check the clock on portabel media storage and there's no option on the player to restrict devices from accessing thwe internal clock. Any idea's on how to fix this??

SOURCE: problems when i sync my archos with media player

Sounds familiar, I did that a few years ago, then it seemed that it formatted my whole mp3, then copied what i wanted. So if I wanted to sync 1 song, that was all on my mp3 after the sync...
That's the last time I used sync, bad memories.
I now copy manually from the PC to my Archos. Then you can control the order of the mapsand the maps you add. If you sych, WMP puts every map in the library in the Arhos music folder.
I just don't get the point of synchronising...

SOURCE: syncing my Windows Media Player playlist over to a 605

PROBLEM SOLVED!

Go to the Archos website and type in your model number - my case 605 WiFi - and it shows you a list of firmware downloads. Just click to download the latest firmware update which you should save in your desktop - it's about 45Mb-. Once te download is complete open My Computer on your PC and click on teh Archos icon which takes you to internal hard drive icon, click on this icon and paste the update (aos) file from your desktop into this level of teh Archos - Don't paste it into any of the folders as it wont work!

When you disconnect your Archos from your PC it will display that it has found an update and would you like to install it, click on Yes and Voila! WMP playlist will now sync properly to the Archos!

Hope this helps you teh way it helped me.

Cheers

SOURCE: Archos 605 doesn't recognize my music files

from another forum on this site

Thanks and credit to eyez12 - the 2nd option below worked for me

try going to menu, settings, system, and then clicking the update ARCLibrary button, that was all it took for me.
if that doesn't work then go to repair and formatting tools and click "clear temp system files and cache"

SOURCE: I have Archos 605 with 123 CDs how ever the last 3

First I would suggest swapping them with 3 other positions. And see if they play there. If they play there and the cd's that you had in other positions don't play in the slots where the original ones were, you will know that there is a problem with the player and not the cd's. I understand that they play on media player. But may not play in the Archos

Bought a gpx8gb digital media player for my daughter for christmas. I have downloaded her cd's into itunes library. Now how do I get those songs onto her media player?

Check to see that when you rip a music CD that your music is not copy protected. The RIP function in your Windows Media Player will allow you to convert the music CDs you have purchased into either an MP3 or a WMA format.

To adjust the copy protection setting on your ripped music files,

Open the Tools tab at the top of your Windows Media Player.
Select Options and then select the Rip Music tab.
Choose the type of music file as well as the quality with which you would like to save the music. (Your GPX player has the ability to play music files in both the MP3 and WMA format.)
Make sure to use MTP when transferring copy protected WMA files.

If you are using Windows Vista with Windows Media Player 11, you will need to follow these instructions.
Note: You will be able to download purchased/subscribed songs to the unit.

Start Windows Media Player 11 and then connect your unit to your computer. If you have not set up synchronization between your computer and this device, the Device Setup Wizard starts.
In Device Setup - Configure Sync, write a name for your mp3 player.
Click Finish. The window closes and the Sync feature in the Player is displayed.
From the left pane of this Sync feature, you can select from Playlists or Library and you will see the content of these folders in the center pane.
Select the songs or entire albums from the center pane.
Drag these songs or albums into the Sync List, which is the right pane of the Sync feature.
Click the Start Sync button on the Sync List pane.
Repeat steps 4-7 for any other items that you want to copy to your unit.

If you are using Windows XP with Windows Media Player 10, you will need to follow these instructions.
Note: You will be able to download purchased/subscribed songs to the unit.

Start Windows Media Player 10 and then connect your unit to your computer. If you have not set up synchronization between your computer and this device, the Device Setup Wizard starts.
In the Device Setup Wizard, select Manual.
Click Finish. The wizard closes and the Sync feature in the Player is displayed.
Select the Library option. On the left pane select Sync List.
From the left pane you can select All Music or My Playlists and you will see the songs located within these folders in the center pane.
Select the songs from the center pane, and drag them to the Sync List.
Click the Start Sync button on the Sync List pane.
Repeat steps 4-7 for any other items that you want to copy to your unit.
Good Luck, I hope this helps
Please rate me, Thank you

Converting wma's to mp3 costs money unless you are getting the songs from an actual CD. Better to get an mp3-only music service like Limewire, Rhapsody Mp3, etc.

Transferring music to Insignia MP3 player

When using your media player... you need to first figure out if you are using windows media player 9 or windows media player 10. Also what windows are you using on your computer, that makes a difference as well... Make sure you have the mp3 player plugged in properly and then...Once you are in your windows media player go to your lib tab... soon as you are in there then on the right side there should be section on where you could build a lib list. Meaning you should be able to pick the songs in your lib and just drag them over. On the bottom you should see something that says sync... Once you've choose your songs and dragged them over... all you should have to do is press the sync button and it will do all the work for you from there. And it should let you know when its complete...mine does. Hope I could help you.
