@ -83,31 +83,8 @@ Q16. What exactly are you trying to achieve with this line of development?
(A.K.A. what's your purpose for being here?)
A16. Firstly, we wouldn't start something like this if we didn't simply enjoy
it profusely. This is great fun!
Secondly, we feel the firmware is lacking some features and contain a
number of annoying bugs that we want to fix.
Some ideas would include (in no particular order):
- No pause between songs
- Mid-song resume
- Mid-playlist resume
- No-scan playlists
- Unlimited playlist size
- Autobuild playlists (ie: "all songs in this directory tree")
- Auto-continue play in the next directory
- Current folder and all sub-folder random play
- Full disk random play
- REAL random
- Multi song queue
- Faster scroll speed
- More cool features with the wire remote control (including
controlling your Archos from your car radio (req hw mod))
- Support playing of other files types (ie: Ogg Vorbis support)
- Support for megabass switch (req hw mod)
- Player control via USB
- Memory expansion?
Note: Just because something is on this list, does not mean that it is
technically feasible. (But hey we can dream) And something not
being on the list does not mean it isn't a neat idea. Bring it to
the list.
Secondly, we feel the original firmware is lacking some features and
contains a number of annoying bugs that we don't want to live with.
Q17. You mention supporting Ogg Vorbis and other file types on your list of
ideas. What is the status on that?

Q21. What do you plan to add to coming versions?
A21. We have a rough idea of which features we plan/expect/hope to be included
in which versions. Once again, remember that none of this is written in
stone (noticing a pattern yet?)
Version 2.2
User interface overhaul
Version 2.3
Plugin loader, opening the door for a bucketful of new applications
A21. We don't plan versions in detail. We just write code, and when it feels
right we release a new version.
Q22. I tried one of your firmware files and now I can't access my hard disk!

Note: This is a very rare problem. Most people who think they have a
locked disk actually just experience hardware and/or driver problems.

There is no solution, just some tips.
There is no solution, just some tips:
- Connect to the charger when copying lots of files. This will
not prevent the problem, but it will take longer to happen.
- Make sure you have "Deep Discharge" disabled.
- Switch off the "Backlight On When Plugged" option.
- Use USB 2.0. Transfers will be much faster.
- Copy incrementally. With fully charged standard batteries it
should be capable of sustained copying for 2 - 2.5 hours.
