>> Well, about this player... it is a recorder, player, and it has a CF
>> slot on the top of it. However everything is available as an add-on
>> from the archos site (plugins that you purchase)
>>
>> There is an icon driven interface, and you can either play choose,
>> music, browser, photo, recorder, MadPlay, or setup. However,
>> recorder, MadPlay, and photo bring up a screen saying that the plugin
>> is available at www.archos.com (it is not!) This leads me to believe
>> that there may be some sort of SDK? Hmm?
>>
>> I had to UNSOLDER the battery to get at the main board, and I messed
>> the units bumpers up a little putting everything back together. It is
>> a tight package. It uses a standard laptop hard drive, and you can
>> browse the music as in Rockbox, or as a database (somehow you have to
>> rescan the player for database changes -- not sure -- have not messed
>> around with it that much.
>>
>> I do not know much about the player right now, but ask questions and I
>> will gladly answer, or figure it out.
