Summary: Great for Recording Sermons
Review: This is great for recording sermons (and speeches) using the line input. We use this to record from our soundboard to MP3 at a high sampling rate. After downsampling, it is put on our site. As people have said to me, it is "much, much better" than tape.The internal mic stinks, but I never wanted it for that. The player part is great, too, but that is secondary or tertiary. The line-input is easy and three clicks and I'm recording for many hours on rechargeable batteries (a second set included for free!).

Summary: ARCHOS Mini Jukebox HD-MP3 Recorder & Player ( PC / Mac ) Th
Review: This product is very similar to the Archos 6 GB Jukebox 6000 except it has even more features. The Archos Jukebox HD-MP3 Recorder combines a portable MP3 recorder with a 6GB hard drive. Record up to 6000 minutes MP3 (at 128 Kbps) directly from any audio source including computer audio system radio pre-amplified microphone or mixer via stereo line-in jack at bit rates up to 160 Kbps. With an optional mic the Jukebox makes a high quality immense capacity voice recorder. Although it looks and is almost the same, these features allow you to record thousands of hours of voice, but yet like all other jukeboxes without memory sticks, you cant bring it along for a jog.

Summary: a wonderful but sometimes fickle lover
Review: This thing is permantly attached to my hip. I've used most of the 6GB, mostly from recording my vinyl collection. The sound is good. Rechargeable batteries and no discs make this preferable to most portable cd players. Some issues: 1) hard drive sometimes freezes, forcing me to restart the player; 2) hard drive has crashed once (I now keep most files backed-up on computer); 3) A/C cord was poorly built and subsequently frayed, making it inoperative. I could not find an equivalent at Radioshack and thus had to give Archos another $$$for a replacement. 4) Archos customer service--if you manage to get through to them at all--[stinks]. Still, the Jukebox recorder is a great product for me. Even if I had extra cash I'm not sure I'd go w/the iPod as it doesn't record. If I hadn't blown $$$ on a replacement AC adaptor, I probably would have bought the microphone kit from archos.
