Title: Av500 : Music Playback Question
Post by: DRice on April 06, 2006, 08:08:10 pm: does the archos have the ability

- to queue music to play (like on windows media player for example)
- to save this play queue as a playlist
- to move the order of tracks around this play queue
- to shuffle the music in the play queue

also I read this in a review:

2) The inability to browse the AV500 files while listening to music. The minute you try to do so, the music stops, but with the built in resume feature it quickly picks back up right were it left off.

Does this mean that if you are listening to music and you want to add a few more songs to the playqueue, the minute you go looking through the music library the music stops?? aghh......

Also, it is possible to browse music, there is an option to view the ARC (music) library and keep the music playing, which i do all the time. that review is wrong.

HTH,

Thomas

The AV 500 is a great device, the only complain i have is the placement of the DC in and AV jack. if you use a travel adapter, there's no way ur gonna charge the unit.

Do you have the travel adapter? The one that let's you record without the docking disc?

Find a universal wall ac adapter that has an angle connector. That's my plan.
