Michael, Thanks for your response. However, the point still is this.
Once I press the middle button to go to a new track or directory, as the
track continues playing until changed, the directories or tracks aren't
being spoken by Rockbox MP3 clip.
What I'd rather happen is that, once I want toplay a new album, I press
the middle button and the ipod stops playing the track and Rockbox cuts in.
so I can then select a new album using mp3 clip and carry on.
Does this make sense or am I being a bit stupid here. I can't see the
screen as I have no sight at all.

Press the center button. (By "press," I mean a short press; do not hold
the button.) This will put you into the file browser. If you have the
"Follow playlist" setting set to yes, you will be in the same directory
as the song that you were playing when you pressed the center button.
Otherwise, you will be in the root directory.
Either way, once you're in the file browser, the following controls apply:
-Scroll wheel forward and back moves up and down in the file/folder list
-The left button moves up a level in the directory hierarchy
-The right button and the select button open the folder you have
selected (if you have a folder selected) or play the file you have
selected (if you have a file selected)
-The Play/Pause button returns you to the While Playing Screen.
-The Menu button enters the menu system.
To play a different album from the one you are currently listening to,
you can do one of two things:
1. Navigate to the folder containing the album. Press the center
button (or the right button) to open that folder, and then press the
same button again to start playing the first track on the album.
Rockbox will automatically create a playlist with all of the songs on
that album.
2. Navigate to the folder containing the album. Press AND HOLD the
center button. Press the center button again to enter the playlist
menu, and then select one of the options on that screen. This will
insert the folder you have selected into your current playlist, so
Rockbox will play that folder and then resume from where you were when
you inserted the new album into the playlist.

Mike and BlueChip,
Thanks for the quick response. But...
I should have noted initially that the unit displays the same behavior
whether connected to USB _or_ AC adapter power.

Hi,
it could still be the battery connectors, as the archos' are build the
way they do not work without battery.

Hello there,
I'm not sure this is the right mailist list for my question but if it is not
please forgive me and point me to the right one.
I have an iRiver Clix device (successor to U10 devices) which does not mount
as a drive but I would like to take a look at the files inside the device.
Is there a tool I could use for this purpose? I believe the answer is "no"
but I thought I would try.
Thanks a lot,
Delfin Rojas

The main purpose of the charging screen in the Archos machines is to
show that the unit is running in a reduced power consumption state. i.e.
the hard drive is not powered up. This is to allow flat batteries to be
charged up by simply plugging in the charger. Pressing "On" from this
state will start the Archos normally and allow it to browse and play
music, etc.
If plugging in the charger caused the unit to attempt to start normally
and spin up the HD, the batteries may not have enough power to do this
and the unit would then shut down. This would mean that the user would
not be able to charge flat batteries in the machine.

If you can't mount it, how would you physically access the drive?

I have heard of instances of the unit not being able to boot due to a very flat battery, although in the H300 case, the charging is done in hardware so it's only cosmetic.

I'm wondering if anyone can suggest something that will allow me to plug it in and charge off batteries. The one I'm thinking of using uses a standard USB plug, instead of mini, so that would have to be a requirement. I do have my other mp3 player that I could take which has a mini USB, but it's a toshiba which requires drivers so I'm not sure if it would charge off a battery box or not. If anyone can advise me to somewhere that either ships to canada and has phone ordering or uses PayPal and ships to Canada, I'd appreciate it or else I'm going to have to start burning cd's... *wince* thanks Brandon Hicks Email: reyuth1010_at_gmail.com Skype: callto://reyuth msn: silverdart12_at_hotmail.com ------------------------------ Message: 10 Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2006 02:07:39 +0200 From: "Manuel Dejonghe" <manuel_at_dejonghe.de> Subject: Re: charging questions To: Rockbox <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> Message-ID: <9e4313e10606261707j11f0ba58w2b48b2de01e85c47_at_mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed On 6/27/06, James Teh <jamie_at_jantrid.net> wrote: > Tom Cole wrote: > > The main purpose of the charging screen in the Archos machines is to > > show that the unit is running in a reduced power consumption state. i.e. > > the hard drive is not powered up.

Please, let's not forget/break the car adaptor mode. It's intended to resume playback as soon the unit is powered by the charger plug. Although I must admit I would not know how to "brute force charge" my recV1 (that is in car adapter mode) once the batteries are completely flat. There is probably a keystroke that erases all such settings all will then failover to the charging screen. ~lImbus ------------------------------ Message: 11 Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 20:22:52 -0400 From: "Aman Singer" <aman_at_asinger.net> Subject: RE: USB chargers To: "'Rockbox'" <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> Message-ID: <200606270022.k5R0MepR032385_at_labb.contactor.se> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hi.

Cc: Rockbox Subject: USB chargers hi all, am going to be taking a trip for a week where I won't have access to my laptop to recharge my mp3 player. I'm wondering if anyone can suggest something that will allow me to plug it in and charge off batteries. The one I'm thinking of using uses a standard USB plug, instead of mini, so that would have to be a requirement. I do have my other mp3 player that I could take which has a mini USB, but it's a toshiba which requires drivers so I'm not sure if it would charge off a battery box or not.

I'm looking at the battery charger, and it's saying I also need to buy this mini-sync. What's that? How does that all work? I'm kind of confused.
