  ARCLibrary Update 

Scans through all music and playlists in the folders  

Music 

 and  

Playlists 

 and indexes these into the ARCLibrary. You 

need to do this only when you have copied new music to your Archos™ 204. 

 †Queue Mode: While the current song is playing, simply click on the menu button and select Browser or ARCLibrary 
(depending on the current folder), fi nd the next song you want to play, then click ENTER. This is your queued song. The 
lower arrow of the Queue icon will turn black. You can only queue one song at a time. See the Playlist section to prepare 
multiple songs to play. Once the current track has fi nished playing, your queued track will be played. If you do not queue 
another track at this time, the Archos™ 204 will play the next song in the original directory. 

 ††Scan Mode: Each track in the directory is played for 15 seconds. This allows a quick sample of each song. If you want 
to play the whole song, click on the Play button during those fi rst 15 seconds. The Archos™ 204 will then revert to single 
directory mode and play the rest of the songs in the directory without scanning.
