I agree with this. What i wanted to say is using just one string, not
using LANG_PLAYINDICES_PLAYLIST and LANG_PLAYINIDICES_BUFFER. This
previous approach was needed _before_ splash window. What i don't really
know right now is if Archos Player/Studio can use Splash() or not. If you
can use that function with Archos Player, then i thought that merging
those strings in only one would be a better approach.

True. This has nothing to do with your format change. I started my post
talking about strings with different length, depending on the target, and
i remembered about this issue, so i wrote about it :D
