Select the Show playlist menu item while you are in the Music browser. A playlist panel will open on the right: you can now start adding songs to the current playlist. In the left pane, locate the songs you would like to add to your playlist. Highlight a song and press or OK to add it to the playlist (the song’s icon in the left panel will change to, indicating that it is part of the current playlist). Repeat this operation with all the tracks you want.
You can also add the content of an entire folder, artist, album, etc. if you highlight it and press OK.

Another way to add songs to a playlist is by using the Add to playlist or Insert in playlist menu items:
Add to playlist - will add the highlighted track, folder, artist or album at the end of the playlist.
Insert in playlist - will insert the highlighted track, folder, artist or album before the selected item in the playlist.
Note: a playlist can have a maximum of 5000 songs.


You can use TextEdit application to Add/Delete/Move the mp3 song in the playlist.
For example the playlist file you just created has the default name untitled playlist.m3u and there are 2 songs included:
/Music/Danielle Davis/I'm Sorry.mp3
/Music/Danielle Davis/Outta My Dreams.mp3

If you want to Add another song from a different location (ex. Slobberbone folder, song name: slippage.mp3), then you just need to open the untitled playlist.mp3 file with TextEdit and add another line to:
/Music/Wes Burden/ Brave New World/Brave New Wold.mp3

Save the untitled playlist.m3u file again and close. Next time when the untitled playlist.m3u is opened, you will see that there are four mp3 songs included.

Note: to delete a song in the playlist, simply delete the line which contains the title of the mp3 song.


If none works, Firmware update is an option.


Download the firmware from Archos Website.
Connect the device to the PC.
Go in “My Computer”, you should see “Archos 504/604”.
Copy/Paste the firmware downloaded on “Archos 504/604”
Disconnect the device safely. Go to Setup > System > Update Firmware.

You can also copy the firmware update file to the root of the device, and select while browsing the hard drive content with the “Browser”.

Hey

alright, pdf into the player, I will figure this out for you, please hold on for a few minutes, please don't reject my solution untill I have posted everything I have to say.

One moment..

Alot of times windows media player is not compatible with certain players. most often times you have to install an updat to the programing of your player. even though you can get most files to play without the update, you can't fully sync with device. if your having problems and don't think windows media is allowing the files to transfer, you can try other players such as rhapsody or jukebox. I have found that because of codec issues that jukebox is the best and i have always had good luck with it.

Load Windows Media Player.
Find the CD you want to put onto your MP3 player.
Select the "Copy from CD" tab in Windows Media Player.
Look at the list of tracks that Windows Media Player displays for you.
Select which tracks you want to convert to MP3 by ticking them.
Click "Copy Music."
Wait patiently for Windows Media Player to finish ripping your CD.
Connect your Archos MP3 player.
Click on the "Sync" tab.
Synchronize your device.

Right click the songs you required and save them to the play list.it will ask you where you want to save .it will give you the options.you can select it from the option.its simple.

pls do rate the solution

thanks.
regards.
