Hi my question.Will the docking station for the 504 work with the 705,or would I have to upgrade this? I hope not. I have a a Archos 504 80gb.So far I don't have any compants.It workd great.I keep looking at the 705,for the bigger screen size.I also would like to upgrade to 160gb's. I like the small size of 504.I have mp3 and some movies on it.So when I have to wait anyware I can watch a move,or hear music.I also like that the battery can be replaced. Thanks for any info you can give.Al fourbye99@yahoo.com

Yes, you can drag and drop while in Hard Drive mode (not Sync mode which is for use with WMP), as well as any other file. I use this mode all the time, I have no need to "sync" anything, just add it to my 705 or remove items.I haven't used my device for just music (no video) so I can't say what the life is like, though it does last a good amount of time for video (standard at least for any portable video device if not better), so I wouldn't really be that concerned by it. You can buy a spare battery here at Amazon (it's Gen 4 for the 704 device but is the same battery), and it's about $28-29 which isn't too bad compared to prices for other "spare/replaceable" batteries for portable devices.

I have a different model, but same line. It played from a 500GB usb drive fine. The thing is it has to be formatted to FAT32 or it won't read. I use a 128GB flash drive on two different Pioneer AVH models fine as well. According to the manual there are file and folder limits though (I think 15K file/1500folder, not positive though), so 256gb may be overkill to be honest (I do have 10K+ mp3 on my 128 with room for more). I only tried the 500GB out of curiosity.Also a note on the 160gb iPod working... that's because it runs off the iPod o/s, making the size and format irrelevant. It also runs much slower than using a usb drive as a result. I have a different model, but same line. It played from a 500GB usb drive fine.

How ever you can drop and drag your music. I buy tunes from amazon then export them to windows where I can sync the Sandisk and drag the music I want to it.

Hi!! I am wanting to know when you received your answer to your question about whether you can use these for storing and viewing pictures if it worked for you? I too, wish to use these to transfer all pics to each one and want to make sure I will be able til do that with no problems. So, my main question. Is: once I have saved my pics to this device, will my family be able to copy the pics I put on there to tbeir computers.. I a m hoping that you purchased these, and if the party who answered your question right. I really hate to spend the money if they on my burn music, you know? Thank you in advance. Steph Hi!!

I finally purchased with cowon d2 and am very happy. I listen to audiobooks on it and it can bookmark, but play the next track after the bookmarked track (extremely important).I had the creative zen for awhile and returned it as it didn't have as many features as the d2.If you have any questions about the d2, please feel free to ask.

Battery life for the Archos 7 as a .pdf viewer is at least 7 hours with some time still left on the battery. I use it all day while I am teaching at school. At this writing the unit cannot be used as an ebook per se. However, there is software available to convert the ebook to .jpeg and view as a picture. This works pretty well but you have the extra step of converting. Archos should include an ebook reader for the Archos. I hope that someone will make a stand alone program that will work. Remember DRM protected ebooks like those used on ebook readers like the kindle will not work, but there is a ton of content for free available in .pdf format.

Unfortunately i haven't been able to move or transfer recordings with this recorder after i have recorded them into a specific folder. Also there is no way of downloading or uploading the recordings onto a pc or other device because of no usb port. The way i have got around that problem was by having a seperate digital recorder, specifically the Rolland R05 digital recorder and i play the recordings from the Olympus recorder in order of how i want them stored or saved on my computer and then upload the recordings onto my computer using my R0-5 recorder. Hope this helps out a little bit.

i had the 4gb zen and i loved it so much, i sold it to get a bigger capcity. this is a very cool player and for the price, you cant go wrong. as far as the sd card goes, it is kept seperate from the internal library, which is good and bad. i personally like them to be intergrated, but sounds like you want to keep them separate, which is good for you. its like having two separate libraries! for example, i put over 800 songs on the Zen and i had a 2gb sd card ( only $15 on amazon) which i was able to put almost 200 songs and around 8 tv shows. so if i wanted to watch an episode of say, House, i select sd card on the menu and voila! now all the content i stored on my sd card appears. but if your playing music from the internal library and select "sd card" the music will stop and now your in the sd card library. pretty easy and straight foward player. i havent used the Unbox service, i just used Slysoft software called Clone Dvd Mobile to convert my own dvds to generic avi? i forget, but you have to select 320x240 res. or it wont work. that is the max resolution the zen can take. but its very sharp and clear and everything worked fine for me on the zen. but i can imagine if you press too many buttons at once, it could result in the player freezing up and i have done it before. not on this Zen, but on my old ZVM and ZV. so i learned to just be patient when dealing with any pmp or dap. hope this answers your question. ps: you might want to contact Amazon about the Unbox service and the ZEN. i read it was compatible.

it's pretty simple. i use mine for audio books which i download from the library. if you want audio books there is software you download called Overdrive Media. There will be a link for this at your library site. I have also transferred things from CD's. You highlight what you want and copy to the device just like you would transfer things to a flash drive. Does that answer your questions? if not, let me know and i will try and answer them.

I have my Archos 5 screen on low and still have only 1.5 hours of battery life when watching videos. I've only had the unit for a year... I use the archos battery dock which adds an extra 2 hours. But the 1.5 hours for the main unit is ridiculous.

Am thinking about buying the Creative Zen and read where someone stated it was hard to bookmark on the SD card. Have you had problems doing this too?He said it was not good for audiobooks. I use my Creative Zen Vision W and iPod only for books and would like to purchase another.....Thanks for any info......

If it is in MTP mode or Auto Detect (default) then you can use Windows Media Player. If it's in MSC, then you can just drag and drop your music.

But how do you go about putting videos onto your card. Can you just click and drag stuff out of your itunes library and drop them off in the Removable Disk "g" folder? If not please tell me in detail!

@ Wayne WareTo hold and make available through the GUI other/extra maps mostly.In the case of the 855(see Discussion heading) I use them for storing MP3's as the 855 has a built in player that will broadcast them over an FM radio channel.(edited reply)

Don't know if this helps, but I copy files onto my macbook Air quite easily. I just connect it via the USB connection, open the icon for the recorder, open the folder that has the file I want to copy and drag it where I want it on my computer. I haven't mastered file management on the recorder itself yet, but it really isn't a problem, because I only really care what folder a file is in on my computer. I play recordings on i-tunes. If I can be of any other help, let me know. I use it to record interviews and have played around a lot with different situations. The size makes it easy to carry it in my purse and pull out as needed. Don't know if this helps, but I copy files onto my macbook Air quite easily.

When you plug it in your computer it is like an external hard drive, you just drag and drop you mp3 files. You can you their free app too, but only works in windows, no Mac support. Cheers
