Internal rechargeable battery.

I actually thought about going inside and seeing what kind of battery was in there and disconnect it, but decided against it as I had plenty of other things to do.

Actually, if it freezes you can reset it.  Hold down the power button (not the "x" button) for a long time.  It will reset itself.

Hey,

I just checked the Archos website today.  They have a new firmware update for the Gmini 120  (v. 1.7.0).  It fixes several things which will make the thing more reliable in general.  However, it doesn't fix our digital recording but.  Maybe next time.

I also hadn't checked the archos website since I did my tests.  I was doing my tests with v1.5.0, and it now appears as though there have been two firmware updates, and v1.7.0 is the latest.  I'll download the newest firmware and run some tests, even though it doesn't say that the .wav recording problem has been addressed.  it's worth a shot to test it out again.  it's also encouraging that thay are still actively updating the firmware for this thing.  hopefully it won't take too long for them to work out the kinks...

edit to add:
here's the list of improvements with the last two firmware updates:


V1.6.0
---------------------------------------
Improvement:   Displayed "ARCLibrary" instead of "Browser" in the playback popup menu when the current song has
      been started from the ARCLibrary.
Improvement:   Improved popup menus layout.
Improvement:   Folders can now be added recursively to a playlist (all tracks from sub-folders are also added).
Improvement:   Opened the playlist panel when adding a track/folder to the playlist with a long press on OK.
Improvement:   Changed message when a new firmware is detected.

Bug fixed:   Fixed PLAY/STOP icon not displayed when entering the recorder from the main menu.
Bug fixed:   Fixed noise amplification in earphones after turning the FM radio off.
Bug fixed:   Fixed scrolling name not erased after deleting a track in the playlist panel.
Bug fixed:   Fixed preset stations not retrieved when the length of a station name is 32.


V1.7.0
---------------------------------------
Bug fixed:   Fixed Gmini crashing during fast rewind in playback.

As of ~last thanksgiving the rockbox developers were unsure if they could write firmware for the gmini due to some legal concerns.

Their list of things they won't do also refers to the multimedia series archos products & how they're a completely different beast from the jukebox & jukebox recorders.

Governor Jim McGreevey was equally disturbed about the upcoming population increase. "New Jersey cannot support all of these wookies," he said. "For starters, we don't have nearly enough kindbud. At best, we can muster up a Q.P. of some beasties, but we've not a dime-bag more."

Well, I have a pair of Studio Projects C4 mics, AD-20 preamp, and PS-2 phantom power arriving tomorrow. Now all I need is for this damn Gmini 120 to get its ass working correctly before I buy it. Coooooomon firmware update!

Did anyone tested it with the AD20? Does it works at least the same?

did 5hrs via SPDIF from my UA_5 last eve, with the latest firmaware installed, and upon listening thru that tape, I hear no pops or clicks, and when I put into the Wavelabs, I see no jumps or drop outs...
I am going to try and figureout how to do a bit accuracy test this eve, but I'm just happy my recording sounds good
