Couldn't find an explanation in XP's help files (I'm primarily a Mac person but I have a PC). I downloaded the two software programs recommended to accomplish this, but didn't understand how to use either one. So I did what may have been a "no-no" and just turned the computer and Archos off and disconnected the USB cable. My understanding was that firewire and USB devices can be disconnected while the devices are on (at least they can on the Mac), so I am not sure what "Make sure you 'eject' (unmount) the usb disk before you unplug it" means, or what the consequences are of NOT doing it. It seems to be working fine. The LCD screen was very dark, but I figured out how to change that. I have 2 more questions if someone would be so kind. I charged the batteries until the screen went blank and it seemed done. Then I let it set for 2 days before I got time and courage to deal with it. Now the battery graphic is a little less than half full. I didn't understand the PDF manual's instructions about "trickle" and "full discharge". Can I just plug it in each night when I get home from work for the next night, or do I have to change a setting somewhere, or what? I can't seem to get back to the list of books I put on to listen to. The left key (I think it is F1) gives me the option to change settings, but I haven't figured out how to get back to the menu to choose a different book, or to start over the one I am listening to as a test but not really listening to. This is really neat! I LOVE that resume feature...it goes back EXACTLY where I left off! Superb feature for listening to audiobooks. Does it still remember the spot if the batteries go dead? Thanks for all your help getting Spot to run! Sharon Received on 2003-08-15 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
