Transferring music etc from pc shared docs to archos 605 using wi

it has to be in a sertaine format.
glad to help.

Archos is not capable to play dvd formatted files

A couple things to note. First.
Make sure the files are the right format.
second, make sure they are in the music folder.
third... sometimes it won't read them. you can still play them here's how:

Go on your archos go to music, than at the bottom click on hard drive.... you can play everything there.... i recommend not synching it... but dragging and dropping them in by hand... i like doing things basic...

from another forum on this site

Thanks and credit to eyez12 - the 2nd option below worked for me

try going to menu, settings, system, and then clicking the update ARCLibrary button, that was all it took for me.
if that doesn't work then go to repair and formatting tools and click "clear temp system files and cache"

For as long I've got mine, 605 WIFI 160 GB, I don't have such an option for lyrics.
On the PC you can add lyrics in the summary of the music file, but not all
the options from summary appear.
But you mean that you can see the sentence which they are singing at that moment every time?
I don't think that is possible, but try to contact, who knows they can create it soon,
if they change that and add it in new firmware!

Try using Real Player.

Another call to the US Tech support, different technican, and the problem was solved. We did not have the docking station plugged into an electrical outlet. We had the Archos in the docking station, and turned on, but it needs the extra power apparently from the AC. Problem solved! Was able to download photos direct from the camera to the Archos with the USB.

If change the setting of the 605 to "hard disk" then a PC sees the 605 as a hard disc when connected using the usb lead. You can then copy and paste files directly to the 605..

mine's just gone a similar way - made a playlist and saved it...all songs were playing ok up until then. When i went to play the playlist it told me that the file was corrupt then proceeded to tell me all 14000 songs were corrupt...just in the middle of an attempted repair!

PLUG USB CORD IN AND GO TO THE SITE WWW.ARCHOS.COM AND REGISTER YOUR UNIT.
