ARCHOS 2 8GB MP3 Player (FM / AM tuner, USB 2.0) (Electronics)

Customer Review

I have not bought the part on Amazon, but the thing ... in ° cough ° German established dealers. On my explicit question of the "Resume" function, the seller asked extra (want to know how, and with whom ...), then came back and said in just as confident as a convincing tone: "Yes, has"
RESUME is the feature that makes it goes on right there at reconnection without further Tastendrückerei where had been turned off.
According to my tests (in the BA is it anyway * nothing * but wants that mean anything ...) has the Archos2 this functionality is not! Thus, it is - at least I think that's - unfortunately died for audio book!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

EDIT EDIT EDIT!
It is possible! - But not "complete"! There are two ways to switch off the device: On the one hand it has a real small slide switch on the upper narrow side (thankfully, the switch position (display on / off) with a green respectively red color swatch.), On the other hand turns off the part, when the Play / Pause / Enter button is pressed for a few seconds. In the latter case, a "Resume" possible - - but ...
Reconnection by Play / Pause / Enter button * alone * does not make a return to the most recently heard! You end up first in the main menu, click on "Music". Then you have to again press the PPE key, then you end up - no, still not at last listened to, but the sub-menu "Media Library", where then the selection bar is on the top entry, "Music player". The PPE-button one more time, and one is at the beginning of the last played track (the last played audio book file), so do not * at the point * in the piece (audiobook file). That is, particularly at Audiobook: Either I hear may not at all times short end again (! Book files can also sometimes be large, at 30 minutes), or do I have to fast forward, Play, Fast Forward, Play, vorsp .... etc . until I arrive at a place that sufficiently close seems to me to the point where I had interrupted.
That, * so * implemented, is not what I call a proper resume function. My Creative ZEN Stone eg. makes it quite fabulous: switching - and on we go * exactly * when the interruption point! (Only just has the Stone unfortunately another Macke whose behalf I now must buy another MP3er (te).)
I am realistic about what customer's firmware needs, especially at the company. Archos, align ...

Otherwise, surely a nice particles with very attractive P / L ratio.
Pity!
