Using the Browser
Using the Browser
The browser is used to navigate the le system on the Gmini. The le system is the same
type of le system that is found on Windows
®
based computers. This way, transferring
les from your computer to your Gmini is as easy as ‘drag and drop’. The le system is a
hierarchical system which includes folders and subfolders. Because you will be putting
hundreds of les onto your Gmini, it is STRONGLY ADVISED that keep a neat and
orderly le structure. We suggest that you keep the prede ned folders: Data (to carry
miscellaneous data les with you), Music (all of your music les), and Playlists (to hold
all your music Playlists).
7.1 Inside the MUSIC Folder
7.1 Inside the MUSIC Folder
The top level of your Archos Gmini includes the folder Music . Most people who create neat le structures for their
Archos players make the following hierarchy within the Music folder.
Level 1 – Artist (Dire Straits, Madonna, Stravinsky, etc.)
Level 2 – Album (Brothers in Arms, American life, etc.)
Level 3 – Song (Money for Nothing, etc.)
The folder Music is a special folder in that the Music icon on the main screen leads to this folder directly. It should
not be deleted or renamed.

7.2 Navigating the Directory Structure
7.2 Navigating the Directory Structure
Just below the top status bar, you can see the directory you
are currently viewing. To navigate the directory structure
you will use the UP/DOWN controls of the navigation pad
to move through the les in a directory. Press ENTER to
enter a highlighted folder. To go back up one
level in the directory structure, you can either
use the contextual MENU button (select Parent)
or click on the LEFT control. The contextual
MENU button allows you to create new folders,
delete folders, rename a le or folder, or display
information about a le.
