The good, the bad and the return

I wish I could write a scatheing review but I am not. I checked out a lot of MP3 players before purchasing the Archos GMini 120. I also looked at all the reviews here on amazon.com and weighed those for the iPOD, Zen Xtra and Diamond RIO before making my purchase. Here is my experience:The Good: Price vs. Features hands down goes to the GMini. At 249.00 (CompuUSA) with it's 20GB hard drive, Smart Card memory reader and voice recorder (I am a student and am tired of packing a tape recorder) no other...

Just what I wanted - Works Great!

I spent weeks researching mp3 players and ended up with the GMini 220.I wanted both the music and Photo wallet features. I travel for extensive time without a laptop and needed something to down load pictures to.The sound quality is great and the photo wallet works great.I've had the unit for 5 months now and it has worked perfectly.I would buy another one (or maybe the GMini 400 series when that comes out)...

I've had mine fer 'bout 6 months, no complaints. Buy it, love it, nevva leave wit out it! Holla at cha girl....

What's the problem?

I've had my player for a little over two months now. The only time that I've had any troubles with it was when I accidentally put all of the music into the home directory of the player (it's supposed to go in the /music/ directory) which caused it to crash. That was easily fixed; I simply cut and pasted the files from the home directory into the /music/ directory. Upgrading is easy. Simply download the latest update from the archos site (http://www.archos.com) and follow the directions that they...

A low Quality Product

My experience with the gmini 120 has been terrible so far. Perhaps I got a lemon, but I've never in my life bought a consumer-electronics product of such low quality before. Let me list my issues with it:1) Battery life is poor, something like 3-4 hours. Not what has been advertised.2) The buttons are of low quality. They stick, the software does not register key-presses, etc.3) The software sucks. It CRASHES all the time. This is just not excusable.4) After having it for a month the hard-drive...
