Using Itunes ® 4 With Your Av300 - Archos AV320 User Manual

Using iTunes
The easiest way to transfer music files between a Macintosh
your AV300 is to use the Macintosh Finder™ to drag and drop the files to and
from your Macintosh
However, for Macintosh
developed a special i-Tunes plug-in. You will find it on the included CD-ROM in a folder
called iTunes plug-in. In this folder you will find a plug-in for Mac OS 9.x and another
folder for Mac OS 10.x. You will also find a JPEG image illustrating where you need to
copy the plug-in to. Once this is done, iTunes™ will recognize the AV300 as a 'Device'.
To make your user experience easy as possible, please keep in mind the following.
1) When you create your Playlists with iTunes
that have been copied to your AV300), your Macintosh
root directory of your AV300. It will not save them to the AV300 Playlists directory. It would
be best to use the AV300 itself to make Playlists (section 3.5) and then save these Playlists
in your Playlists folder.
2) When you drag and drop MP3 files from your iTunes
i-Tunes program will look at the ID3 tag information (See section 3.2 of this manual for
®
an explanation of ID3 tags) of the MP3 file, and create a folder on the root of your AV300
using the name of the Artist as the folder name. Then it will take the Album name ID3
tag, and create a subfolder with that album as its name. Finally, it will take the MP3 song
itself and place it into that album subfolder. Thus, although it is a clean structure of artists
and albums, i-Tunes
Music folder first.
