Summary: I wish I could have given it ZERO stars
Review: I swear this is the worst purchase I ever made... in my life... ever. It worked for like a month, before it stopped. The tech support employees are minions of Hell. I emailed them four times over the last month and a half, NEVER got a reply. Once they realized that I wasn't going to buy more accesories from there website in hopes of keepin my Mp3 player working, they stopped replying. I will admit that I hate Archos. I am very bitter towards them because they sold me such a terrible defective product and refuse to do ANYTHING about it. I am basically screwed out of the 450$ I have spent on it and being a teenager I don't come across money very easily it took almost six months to earn enough money to buy iy. I hate ARCHOS do yourself a favor and buy a burner... or creative labs, or Neo... just NOT archos.

Summary: Wow
Review: I just got my Jukebox last week and I use it almost every day, just wish the batteries would last longer. I put all my cd's on it (about 105 cds) and I still only used 7Gb the only problem I have is what am I going to do with the other 13Gb of space I have. This is a great product. It is also nice that it works with Linux also.

Update: Nov 21, Player is still the best thing I got. I have as of now filled it to almost 10GB of mp3's, I have no hope of listening to them all in a reasonable time.

My only complaint is with play lists. if you want to rip your albums to play on it, do what I do, and have the ripper tack on the track number in-front of the name of the file. (it is that when it finishes with the list it bails out and you have to go back to the list and reload it, I usually keep all the m3u files in their own directory)

also with the earphones, I have not found them bad, of course i can not tell the between a 128Kbps and a 192Kbps mp3 too.

It also works great under Linux (use the usb-storage mod)

I have put all my mp3's on it, deleted them off of the computers hard drive to save space there, and when I want the computer to play mp3's, I just mount the device on /mnt/jukebox and point xmms to it to play them.

Summary: Not far enough
Review: This product is a major step in the direction of personal audio devices. The big problem, and I do mean BIG is the operating instsuction book! I have never been so frustrated in my life in the electronics field. Nothing is clear, no step by step flow on how to do anything. I have recorded and erased hour after hour of music when Ithaught I was dooing it correctly.
Audio quality is another story, however. It's nothing short of GREAT!!! HELP IS NEEDED WITH 'HOW-TO' MAKE IT WORK

Summary: DO NOT BUY
Review: Alright, this product works really good for about a month or two. Then it breaks. This wouldn't be so bad if Archos had a real customer service department but they don't. If you email them they won't reply and if you call them they won't pick up. They sent me someone else's broken Mp3 player as a replacement. IT has been one big disappointment after another.

Summary: My favorite toy.
Review: This is a great machine!

Finally, no need to carry a CD player, and a handful of discs. For travel, on vacation or work, this is a great machine.

It is no bigger than the transistor radios those of us in the mid forties can recall. It holds hundreds (yes HUNDREDS) of hours of music.

They get there easily, after loading a Cd into any computer which then installs the MP-3 enabling program. Then, it is as simple as loading an audio disc, clicking onto the selections to be reproduced. Click and drag then transfers the selections onto the MP-3 unit itself.

The neat thing about it is that then the music is in two places: On the computer and the player. The controls, while small, are easy to use.

The greatest toy smaller than an Aston-Martin.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hard to start...
Review: I just unpacked the unit, very happy to start downloading my mp3 music, but... I have to wait till tomorrow to use it, because the unit doesn't work until the batteries are completly charged (not even with the AC Adapter).
Opening the battery compartment is really hard. You need a screwdriver very thin, and the paint comes out easily. The manual is so poor that is almost worthless.
Well, let's see tomorrow how this machine works. I feel like a child after Xmas when Santa forgets to buy batteries for your new toys and all stores are closed. Disapointing.

Summary: Great MP3 Player
Review: Do NOT listen to the other reviews that complain about headphones, or how difficult it is to work with this product! This is the best MP3 player around. You need to buy a good set of headphones because the ones povided are poor quality. I purchased some panasonic headphones and have amazing sound and more than enough volume. The player is very simple to use. If you can work with windows explorer, you will have no trouble using this product. The rio riot has the same amount of memory and comes with a digital tuner, however why spend extra for a tuner? If you want a tuner and an MP3 player, buy the archos and a digital tuner and save .... If you are comfortable working with a computer this is easy to use. Don't listen to all of the complainers!

Summary: Don't buy this machine!
Review: This is the worse electronic equipment I've ever purchased. Yes, it stores lots of files and you'll have a good portion of your CD collection on the tip of your fingers. But that is after you have spent a couple of days trying to figure out how to work the machine. You need to read the manual for little things like turning the machine "off" -- no joke! I can't wait to return it and get a different one.

Summary: Arrived broken....
Review: I ordered this because I wanted the space. I was going on vacation and wanted hours of music for the flight. I got it two days before the trip. I let it charge overnight and the next morning it would not turn on. I changed to the second set of batteries and let them charge all day, still didn't work... Anyway, it's been over a month since I bought the...thing and I have yet to hear a single note.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Mine broke after 5 months...
Review: Well I don't know what's up with it, but it wont work. Smells like something got fried last night while I was recharging it. The compact design is great but Archos needs to make the jukebox less vulnerable to damage...And keep in mind this is after the warranty...if you want something good take the Creative NOMAD. If you want something more compact then take the iPod, or wait for something else
