Hi all
I'm having no luck trying to get Archos to answer my questions, and after a bit of googling found you guys. If anyone can answer some of these questions it would be very much appreciated.
I have seen on other players that although they have a large hard drive, they limit the number of files that the player will recognise to play. On Archos' website, they say "play up to 20,000 songs". Is this a strict file limit, as described just before, or is this based on an average size for a song divided into the 40gb of the hard drive? If the latter is the case, is there any limit on the number of files the player will recognise to play (except for obviously the size of the hard drive)?
Does anyone know of a recommended way to store and charge spare batteries? For example, keep them completely charged, or completely uncharged if they arent being used?
Are these models of players suitable to be used when going running?
Can they play avis and dvix video files, or will I need to convert them first? Is there a full list of supported video files available anywhere?
Similarly, is there a list of supported equipment for the USB host function?
I'm a little bit confused over the microphone. I'm sure I read that it was built into the player, but have also read that its built into the seperate remote control. Does anyone know anything about this?
Sorry for lumping it all into one big message, but I'm bound to lose track of them all if I was to separate them!
Thanks a lot!

I do not think there is a physical file limitation, you would have to copy a ton of files over to see what it does

There is no device that just charges batteries, your best bet is to charge one on the unit and pull it off to keep aside.

I'll be testing the av500 as a helmet cam recording device so I'll be stress testing to see how it performs.

Divx , yes. Avi is a container for many different codecs and you will run into many that will not play on the unit. WMV works also.

Not sure about those last two.
