The software is the main problem with this player. There is no bookmarking support for podcasts and it doesn't even remember your spot when you restart the player. If all you want is a cheap player that resides in your car or for use while walking around town this is fine. Once again the interface is horrible.

That was fun, I thought I'd broken it at first getting so frustrated with the jack, when I call customer service the guy said it wasn't my fault and they just make so many that some don't work, I didn't know you could have company policy to make Sh**y products and still make money, Archos has no problem with it though.
