okay i bought the archos gmini 120 as an alternative of the extremely over priced ipod. and since im 15 and had to pay for it myself it seemed logical to buy an mp3 player that offered a great amount of space and features for a fraction of the cost of an ipod that i couldnt afford. so i got the gmini and immeditly opened it and tried to get it running... well 6 days of trying later it still wasnt working. the plugins are immposible to use and no one knows how to make it work. not only does it not...

Gmini 220 - A Nightmare

I received this mp3 player as a gift from my wife Christmas of 2004.I debated between this player and the ipod.Eventually, I told her to buy the gmini 220 and she purchased one new off ebay.I regret that decision every day.From day one the unit has never operated properly in regards to its primary function, playing mp3s.I will relate my experiences with this player and the horrible company behind it below:When my wife gave me the player, I greedily opened it and set about loading it with mp3s.This...

Gmini 220 Great Deal

I can't stand the radio anymore so decided to get this for daily car commute.Every song I own in one spot without changing discs.I'm still working on playing it to the car stereo (tape adapter I think), but here are some impressions after 2 weeks.Pro's 1. Simple transfer of Compact Flash to the Gmini220 through provided port.2. Simple recognition on Mac G4 through keyboard USB or a PC USB running Windows XP.Acts as a hard-drive very simply.Stores anything you can put on it.3. Can view jpg in low...

unwarranted criticism?

I purchased the Archos120 through Amazon.com several months ago.I use it a bit as an MP3 player on long plane rides,but I use it primarily to capture and store the images on my camera's Compact Flash card.On a recent 2 month trip to Peru,the Archos performed well through exceptionally humid and dusty conditions.I used it daily to retrieve the images from my camera,and never experienced any of the problems I've read about in other reviews.Perhaps I got an especially good one,or perhaps Archos smoothed...

Piece of junk

When I bought it, it was great, inexpensive and it seemed to be a great product.I returned the first one, because the buttons didn't work right.The second one seemed to be much better and work just fine. It would turn off occasionally after playing a song, it would display the wrong information, and take a long time to load and save playlists, but I over looked these problems, because it did what it advertised to, and had a pretty good battery life.It had a good enough batter life, because when...
