Get almost what you pay for

...The device has works perfectly when I connect it through the USB2 PCI card I bought for it, and I have almost 1GB of personal data files stored. That feature was one of the factors in buying it. I like the over all quality of the product, but it lacks some essentials, and other features are buggy.PLUS:* Good sound and power conservation control.* Sturdy design, so far no damage after three short-distance drops.* Easy interface with Windows - I've hardly had to use the "Safely Disconnect" dialog...

Excellent HD-based MP3 Player

A great hard drive-based MP3 player. The USB 2.0 connection is fast - copying files from my PC-based music library (currently about 3000 songs total) is a breeze. Windows XP installation is a snap - the accompanying CD is not needed for driver install (tho you'll need the CD for older Windows versions).I was concerned about sound quality - comparable units from Creative Labs are rated at 98db signal-to-noise ratio, and the Archos is rated at 'greater than' 90db...but it sounds great, both in the...

Beware of ARCHOS

I have purchased 3 different Archos MP3 Players and they all have 1 thing in common within a year they are broke.

Their support is inferior and takes forever. The batteries constantly die out. Good product just bad engineering. Dont make the same mistake I did it will be a waste of money. I think I am going to get a IPOD...

Big bad surprise

1. 20 GB is not 20 000 000 bits, so forget you can store 20 000 000 bits of music on your 20 GB device. I do not remember exactly but it is like 19,4 milion bits. That was a first surprise :-(2. Second one was a recorder. I could not record using any external source, just through inbuilt mic (but forget using this one- you hear rather noise of hardisk than the sound you wanted to record).== I wrote to Archeos - email - long and polite - I included my date of purchase etc. - NO ANSWER from customer...
