Summary: Reliable, durable, after years of abuse. 4 1/2 stars 2006-08-02
Comment: By 2006 standards, this player is a brick, but when I got it about 5-6 years ago, it was pretty slick. I can't tell you how many times I've dropped this, or sent it flying across my dashboard on a hard turn. I've left it in my car during the hottest and coldest days and I have no complaints.
This is the player-only model, it does not record. It's no frills, big-pixel lcd screen, with decent battery life (Takes AA, and works best with good quality Nimh rechargeables)
I agree about the headphones, the sound quality is very good and it's better than my Audio-technica, Sony, Aiwa, and misc headphones BUT it pinches my ears and you can't wear it too long. Works great as an external hard drive too and I can drop and drag files in Windows Explorer and create/edit playlists in Winamp and Windows Media Player.
I'd love to give it 5 stars but in the strictest objectivity, it's got a few flaws such as accessories and every once in a while, I get a blue screen of death when I connect the USB cable (happens on several different computers).

Summary: Pathetic piece of trash! 2004-08-15
Comment: It constantly hangs. Shuts down for no reason. And its recording capability is so unreliable that if it does not hang randomly in the middle of the recording, chances are you will simply not find the file after the recording is done (the file's just not there!). I am quite a wired guy, so you can be sure my problems are not because I am digitally challenged. The Archos is a very poor piece of engineering. Period.

Summary: Nice quality, price, but a bit bulky 2004-06-29
Comment: I received this player for Christmas of 2002. I have since then put all of the songs from my CDs on to it, as well as some extra songs. The quality of this mp3 player is great! I recorded the songs onto it at CD quality and still have over 9GB left. The headphones that come with this player are nice too, except they can irritate your ears if worn for over about 15 minutes. A charger is also included, as well as a carrying case (though the headphones don't fit in it).The price is very good for a 10GB player! You can also use your Jukebox as a hard drive to store all of your data files. However, the USB 1.1 connection is not fast and takes awhile to transfer songs if you record at a high rate. This means that if you put the songs on the player at CD quality or higher, it takes awhile. It is also quite obvious from the picture that this MP3 player is not small. This is not a good device to use while jogging or doing active things, etc. This player is more for those who have quite a large amount of music and want to carry it with them. So here's the review in brief: The Good:
-Lots of storage for the price!
-Charger, case, headphones included
-Good playback quality
-Doubles as a hard drive for data storage The Bad:
-Heavy, not good for listening to while playing sports
-USB transfer is slow (but I recorded at 128-224kbps) Summary: If you like having nice quality music with you and hate bringing your CDs everywhere, this is for you! Especially if you want something inexpensive, yet has a lot of storage. This isn't for the person who looks to enjoy his/her music while active, though (Ocassionaly it freezes while I am mowign the lawn while listening to it).

Summary: Good Player/ External hard drive 2004-05-28
Comment: If you're looking to store a large sum of MP3s this player is for you. Over all play quality is not bad. If there is a lot of noise around, like when your cutting the grass the volume just does not put out to hear the music. Getting a better head set helped out a lot. Battery life is good, on the down side the battery is internal and cannot be removed. I travel a lot to different countries were I can't recharge the player. Overall This is a good player and it makes a nice external hard drive as well.

Summary: Good for the money....... until the hard drive crashes 2004-04-21
Comment: If your looking for an economical way to carry a whole bunch of music around with you, and be able to listen to it with pretty good quality, then this player may do. Don't try to do anything physical though, a little jostling and it'll lock up on you. The sound quality is pretty good, especially with some decent earphones. Download Rockbox firmware for a better interace and some cool new features. Also, be prepared to buy a new one every couple of months. Me and a friend of mine both bought this player at the same time. His lasted about a month b4 succumbing to a "HD ERROR" and mine lasted almost 6 months b4 doing the same thing. On the plus side I spent under 150 on the thing, and got a lot of use out of it over the past half-year. In the end, though, I would recommend shelling out the extra cash for something smaller, lighter, and more reliable.
