This is what makes it what it is........2004-07-02

Ok, For all thoes people who put bad reviews about the music Quality, it is fine. This thing is a HARD DRIVE, the quality is EXACTLY THE SAME as the quality on your computer, unless you changed some options in the software to increase Transfer speed/Storage memory on the unit. If you have low quality music on your computer, you will have low quality on the mp3 player. Also, it may be the headphones. I found nothing wrong with this unit, it is cheap, and not all show like the Ipod's are. I upgraded my Archos Jukebox by puting in a new 120 gb hard drive, that you can get for $80. P.S. By opening you'r unit, you will void you'r warrenty. Do not do that unless you know what you are doing. Also, find instructions on a web site. I or Amazon can not be held responsible for what ever happens to you and/or your hard drive and Archos Jukebox.

Worthless.......2004-01-25

I recently bought an Archos off of Amazon.com and recieved it in its alotted shipping time. I was very excited at my new purchase from good reviews and amazing specs, especially for the price! unfortunately, I took the system out of the box and charged it overnight, just as the instructions had said. I took it out the next morning, hoping to put on new music and enjoy my purchase before a n upcoming vacation, but instead, the music turned on for about 30 sec. and shut off. I tried this several times until I relaized that it would no longer turn on at all. I tried to re-read the instrutions and even check the archos website but nothing helped. Eventually, I realized that my batteries would not hold a charge (certainly not rechargable) and even for the time (30 sec.) I did listen to the music, I was disappointed by poor quality. I sent back the product to amazon.com to get a new one and try my luck again. After a prolonged period (and a vacation with no MP3 player) I contacted amazon.com to find that I would not get a new one, but only a refund. I was at first a bit upset, but then realized that after all, wouldn't a refund be better than the hastle of dealing with such a worthless machine again and disappointing myself for the second time?
I still have not found another system with the same specs and storage ability for such a price, but I figure that if I must pay an extra $50-100 for an Mp3 player that works and has better sound, then so be it. I hope we have all learned something; this archos system has sourl disappointed me and I hope you will not make the same mistake as I have.

Buyer beware!.......2003-12-01

Problems with Mac OS 10.2.......2003-02-21

This little machine is great. When I got it in the mail, it was much smaller than I thought it be. Now that I have it working with my computer, it works great. The battery life is much longer than my other mp3 player and it takes very little time to get started up. As a recorder it works great. I record all my music lessons with it.
