Customer Reviews:

Excellent.......2006-01-29

I had this archos for two years. Went out and bought an Apple Ipod. No comparison, Archos may not look great but by far is much better than the IPOD. The Archos is easier to use and sounds better also. Who cares about looks when ease of use is more important and the sound is deeper and clearer than the Ipod. Ipod sounds flat in comparison. I gave my 20 gig Ipod to my daughter and went back to good old reliable Archos..

Ok! for a while..........2005-06-29

My dad bought this product for me. it was ok for a while then it started stalling and not working at all. listen to me save up a bit more money and buy an ipod at least it fail on u:(

Hard Drive Died in 8 months.......2005-04-23

I recieved the product as a graduation gift. After the first 3 months I noticed the product would stall for no reason (as computers sometimes do.) Then after 8 months the hard drive completely died on me. I called the company who said they would charge me $75 to fix it. Nice warranty!

Save your money for something else. Now I have a heavy and expensive paperweight.

May not be good looking but BETTER than iPod.......2005-03-19

I have had this for about a year now & it has been great. I replaced the firmware with Rockbox, an open source software for the player.

When I say that Archos is better sounding than Apple Ipod, I know it our of experience as I recently bought into the ipod hype & bought an Ipod mini.

Archos is definitely not as good looking like IPod or Ipod mini. Howver as far as repoducing the sound is concerned, it beats IPod hands down. Ipod for all its hype sounds flat; no bass or depth. Archos sounds fuller when playing the same songs.

Although Apple's Ipod looks great & is snaller in size than Archos, I care deeply about the quality of the music. And even with the best headphones & numerous tweakings, Ipod is flat.

Serves me right for buying into the hype.

Poster Child for Jukebox Abuse.......2005-03-02

I have used my Jukebox for over two years. Its main function is to store sampled sounds for my musical instrument keyboard. The secondary function is to back up important files and the quick transfer of files from one computer to another.
The Jukebox sits on my keyboard seven nights a week as I play at beach bars on an island in the Caribbean Sea. It is the harshest possible environment for electronic equipment because the wind is constantly driving coral sand loaded with salt particles and moisture into everything. The Jukebox has been dropped from a height of three feet (the height of my keyboard) more than half a dozen times onto a wooden deck. It has been filled with rainwater once. I shut it off, dried it with a hair dryer, and forty-five minutes later began using it again. It has been baptized twice with JB and water.
It has never faltered. Could your jukebox take this treatment?
My Jukebox should be the poster child for abuse of the Archos Jukebox. As soon as you discard that amazingly bad Music Match software in favor of Rockbox, the Juke becomes a giant. I have to be able to read the menu from three feet away. No problem, because the fonts are customizable.
Those who have had bad experiences with the Jukebox are those who would have a bad experience with a toaster. For the rest of you with an ounce of common sense, this is the only mp3 player that can take what you dish out.
