 You have the possibility to display your fi le names, folder names, and MP3 ID3 tags in various character sets 
(ex: Korean, Japanese, Simplifi ed Chinese, etc.). You can fi nd the language fi les  CodePage_name.4fz  in the font 
folder under /Data on the Gmini XS100 hard disk or on the Archos website under the heading Software.  

 If, for example, you would like to have the Japanese language display, you would copy the fi le   Cp932.4fz  into 
the folder /system on the Gmini XS100. Shut down and restart the Gmini XS100. File names, folder names, 
and ID3 tags written using the Microsoft

®

 codepage for the language will now be displayed in that character set. 

Only one.4fz fi le can be used at a time, thus you should only put one.4fz fi le into the /system folder. When an.4fz 
language fi le is used, the interface language will be set to English.

 By clicking on the Music icon in the main menu screen, you will enter into a ‘music only’ 
mode. File types other than WMA, WAV, and MP3 that may be in those folders will be 
fi ltered from view. 

 There are two ways to access your music, by selecting  Browse hard disk  or by searching 
the songs’ tag information,  Artist, Album, title, etc . In the case of Browse hard drive, 
you will be sent directly to the  Music  folder of your Gmini. Here you can look at all your 
music fi les and the folders on your Gmini’s hard drive as if you were browsing fi les with a 
computer. The other way is to browse your music by tag information, artist, album, song 
name, year, or genre. The  Unknown  category indicates that the fi le has no tag data.  

 To select a music fi le, use the navigation controls UP and DOWN to move upwards or downwards and ENTER 
to enter a highlighted subfolder or tag category. Click ENTER to play the highlighted song. Use LEFT to leave a 
folder and go back to the previous level.
