MUSIC - Using Windows™ Media Player 9
The AV400 is designed to work seamlessly with
Version 9 of Windows
®
Media Player (WMP9).
By installing the Archos Service Provider plug-
in, WMP9 will recognize your AV400 as a
connected music device. You can then easily
copy your CD collection to your AV400. WMP9
will encode each song into the WMA format (preferred compressed
format of Windows™) and then store them on your connected Archos
device. This Service Provider plug-in will also allow you to play purchased
music from on-line music services such as Napster.com, MusicNow.com,
BuyMusic.com, and Liquid.com.
6.1 Installing Windows Media Player 9
If you do not already have
Windows Media Player version
9 running on your computer,
you can install it from the
Archos Installation Utility.
Connect your AV400 to your
computer. In Windows Explorer,
open up the hard drive labeled
JUKEBOX. It may be called
JUKEBOX (E:) or with another
letter. Open the folder Data,
then the folder PC Installation,
E:\Data\PC Installation\setup.exe. Click on the icon according to your
operating system. Follow the on screen instructions.
6.2 Installing the WMP9 Service Provider Plug-in
Player 9 as explained above. To install the Service Provider Plug-in to
Windows Media player, run the Archos Installation Utility as explained
above, and then chose Archos Media Player Service Provider Plug-in.
Follow the on screen instructions. If you have accidentally deleted it,
you can download it from
the Archos website ‘software’
category (www.archos.com).
With your AV400 still
connected to your computer,
start Windows Media Player.
Normally, you will connect
your AV400 to your computer
before you run the WMP9
program. If you connect it after WMP9 has been started, you will have
connected AV400.
