How about a little field trip to Radio Shack or such? You could alse grab a
few resistors, while you're there. ;)

The wiring is correct. But the value should definitely be smaller, to make
sure the voltage across the resistor (and Archos) does never exceed 3V, not
even in transition from power-on.
Else you're in real danger of blowing the output caps of your Archos.
