The ARCLibrary is a system for choosing your music by its characteristics. It can be
turned On or Off in the settings from Setup > Playmode . As shown in this screen
capture here, you can select your music by Artist, Album, Song Title, Genre, or
Year. MP3 and WMA music fi les have internal data tags to hold information about
the song. For MP3 fi les, these are known as ID3 tags. Not all MP3 fi les have all
this information fi lled in. If you purchase a song from a music download service,
the song will have this information. If you have an MP3 or WMA fi le without this tag
information, then you can add or change it by going to the properties of the fi le in
Windows
®
Explorer. Once you update the ARCLibrary, you will have access to all
newly copied music via the ARCLibrary. The ARCLibrary indexes all the music and
playlists that it fi nds in the folders Music and Playlists by using the tag information
in each song. Thus, you should never delete the folders Music or Playlists . If a
song does not have tags, it will be put into the category <unknown> .

3.5 ARCLibrary Updating
3.5 ARCLibrary Updating
If you paste unprotected audio fi les from your computer to the Gmini, they go directly to the Gmini hard disk
without the ARCLibrary knowing about the new song. This is why the ARCLibrary is updated when you disconnect
your Gmini from the computer. Alternatively, you can set up the ARCLibrary to update only when you choose, by
setting it to “On”, not “automatic”. You can fi nd the information on how to do this in the section Playmode in the
Settings chapter. You will then have to go to the Setup > Playmode screen, highlight [Update ARCLibrary] and
press ENTER. A message screen will appear indicating that it is updating the ARCLibrary contents.
3.6 Setting a Bookmark
3.6 Setting a Bookmark
If you are listening to a song, or perhaps a long recording, and would like to place a bookmark in it in order
to pick up from this point at another time, you can use the Bookmark function. While listening to the audio
recording, simply click on the MENU button, then choose Set Bookmark . This will set a bookmark in the
audio fi le at the current position. You can only set one bookmark per fi le. When you look at the fi le in your
browser, it will have a small mark on its icon indicating that this fi le has a bookmark set within it. You can have
a maximum of 16 fi les bookmarked. Setting more bookmarks will erase existing bookmarks, starting with the
oldest. The next time you play the audio fi le, you will be presented with three options:
Resume: Start playing from the bookmarked position.
Ignore: Keep the bookmark but start playing from the very beginning.
Clear: Clear the bookmark from this fi le and start playing from the very beginning .

When you turn on your Gmini you will sometimes notice that the icon which is highlighted on the main
screen is not the Browser but rather the Resume icon. This icon is highlighted when the Gmini XS202

can resume the last played audio fi le.
