Not playing new tracks loaded onto mp3 from pc

I have had my archos 605 wifi 80gb for over year now and just recently when i load new songs on from my pc they either won't play and the screen freezes, or they play for a couple of secs or mins then it freezes and does nothing. I keep having to restart my archos when it freezes. It also won't let me rip some of the tracks from my archos back onto my pc. My archos has 1gb of room left so it's not that it's too full. I have cleaned pc and scanned for errors and it all seems to be OK. Can you help as i have a lot of hard to find music on it and cannot store it all on my laptop as the memory is too small.

You may have a bad sector on the HDD where those files has been saved. Please check my other fix responses to be able to format your HDD and reinstall the firmware version 2.1 which is the latest one right now. I recommend after the HDD formatted do a disk repaire using Windows. Keep it mind you will lose all the contents and plugins from loaded to the device you need to decide which one is more important saving the Archos or losing the contends. If you be play it safe i'd say send it to archos and have them replace the HDD it costs about 150-170 $ but they will be able to put your plugins back in. and you will have 3 months warrant on their fix.

    Archos 605wifi not switching on

    Hi, my Archos 605 160GB is doing the same, Sorry to say the battery has gone.
    2 options
    1. Back to Archos
    2. Replace the battery yourself I ordered mine from HK from the web site BatteryUpgrade. co. uk for about £24 - If you search on Utube there is a video showing you how to change the battery on smaller 605's

    Problems when i sync my archos with media player

    Sounds familiar, I did that a few years ago, then it seemed that it formatted my whole mp3, then copied what i wanted. So if I wanted to sync 1 song, that was all on my mp3 after the sync...
    That's the last time I used sync, bad memories.
    I now copy manually from the PC to my Archos. Then you can control the order of the mapsand the maps you add. If you sych, WMP puts every map in the library in the Arhos music folder.
    I just don't get the point of synchronising...

    Archos 605 won't play music

    Try adding some songs using Windows Media Player. Then on the home screen go to menu-system-system repair tools and reset the temporary settings ( the 1st option on top). Warning:If you have rated your songs the ratings will disapear.

    Think i have broken my archos 605

    Go to the archos website on your PC and download the latest firmware. Once you have the firmware downloaded to your desktop, connect your archos to the PC with your usb cable.
    The computer should recognise the archos as an external drive.
    Open the archos drive on your desktop and drag the new firmware into the window. The computer will copy the new firmware onto the Archos drive.
    DO a safe disconnect from your pc and restart your archos. The new frimware should start to load itself on your Archos when it powers up. You will need to reconnect the usb cable for the downlaod to start running. Once it is finished it will restart itself again. You will probably need to recalibrate your touch screen interface as well. You need to use the buttons on the side of the unit to scroll through the menu to get to the "settings" screen, and then the "display" screen. Choose "calibrate touchscreen" and follow the instructions.

    I hope this helped.

    you have to download all your songs back onto your archos and will work fine after that

    you may have to delete the songs off first.... i just synched it with my windows media player on my laptop.
