Archos Jukebox Recorder 20GB MP3 Player

Pros: Excellent Sound Quality, Simple Navigation, Rockbox-Enabled
Cons: NONE AT ALL. Best bang-for-buck I've seen in a LONG time.

Pros: Mac/PC, hi-capacity, lo-price, no software required, no copy protection, recording feature, open-source OS
Cons: A little bulkier than the iPod

Let me run down the long list of praises, offer some criticisms, and briefly include an iPod comparison.

For just over $200, you're not going to find a better feature set than this device. Highlights:

Every unit is Mac and PC...

Pros: Moderately priced, adequate controls.
Cons: Large, heavy, poor display, *not* Mac compatible

I was completely stunned by every aspect of this ghastly product. Firstly, it comes hopelessly seal ...

Pros: Fantabulous Storage, splendid sound, easy drag and drop files, batteries rock
Cons: A little heavy. CD recording issues with music match. Headphones blow.

This is an overall smashing product, and I'll tell you why.

Pros:

1. If you've got Windows XP or 2000, as soon as you plug in your Recorder via USB, it shows up on the desktop as "Mega Storage USB Drive", or conveniently,...

Pros: Great Sound, Lightweight, Durable, Easy USB Interface, Great Battery Life
Cons: On/Off Buttons, Included Carrying Case

The Archos Jukebox Recorder is everything that I hoped it would be. It is very compact with powerful sound. The included headphones are sub-par and should be replaced at your earliest possible convenience. Also, the supplied carrying case is less than...

Pros: Worth the price - a great gadget with great features.
Cons: A little larger than some of its competitors.

After my iRiver fiasco (see iRiver iFP-180T review for more info) I finally gave in and spent the extra hundred dollars for the Archos Jukebox Recorder 20. What a difference a hundred dollars makes!! This little jukebox has all the features you're...

Pros: Good possibilities for recording, great sound quality, portable 20 GB hard-drive
Cons: Heavy, clumsy, supports only MP3, menu-system

Do you have a large collection of MP3-files? Then listen to this. A portable MP3-player with 20 GB of storage and a super fast transfer through USB 2.0. Sounds interesting? If it does, then check out the rest of my review of the Archos Jukebox Recorder...

Pros: Storage size, OS upgradeablity, user community, ease of use, overall quality & heavy duty construction.
Cons: This unit (literally) smells. Not a joke! It has an unpleasant odor. BYO headphones.

I've replaced an older (slightly) MP3 player with this unit, and although my PDA can also play MP3s it doesn't have the volume or sound quality that the Archos provides & I really want to have a more robust music player. So while it has taken the place...

Pros: Upgradeable operating system via free open sources
Cons: Won't automatically play subdirectories (yet!)

I received this for Christmas after doing ALOT of research on all available portable players.
I'm a long-time MP3 fanatic and have had an indash RIO MP3 carplayer for over a year now, but wanted something portable.
In the last two days I...

Pros: No copy protection, great built-in microphone, nice controls, great battery life, USB 2.0 optional
Cons: Slow navigation, poor in-unit file management, low volume output

I did extensive research before purchasing this unit and chose it over the iPod because of its recording capability and its ability to accept regular AAA batteries in case I was unable to recharge the NiMH ones (I'm planning on doing some traveling)....

Pros: Compact, good sound, high capacity, needs no software.
Cons: poor display, cheap headphones, short battery duration, locks-up frequently

This item looks good and delivers excellent sound, and needs no software -- it becomes another disk ...

Pros: Reliability Sound Size Price
Cons: VBR recording only

I'm very satisfied with this device. Already got 2 of them, one for my brother, and one for myself. Both units perform flawlessly and as advertised.

I'm using it as a MP3 player( either at work or in my car) and as a data storage device to...

Pros: digital in/out low cost/mb solid unit fast interface
Cons: bad interface bad documentation tiny screen

We got one of these for my dad, so he could carry around his music collection. For those who have not seen them, they are a very nice unit, and are much smaller than they seem in the photos. The device is about twice the size of my original palm pilot,...

Pros: Pocket sized, storage capacity appearance, sound quality, batteries
Cons: Display appearance, quality (or lack thereof) of included headphones

This was my first product from Archos and I was a bit hesitant as I had'nt seen anyone else with one. However, after purchasing, I'm an Archos fan forever. This is a great product, of which, I have a hard time finding any real complaints about.
...

Pros: 20 GB Simple File transfer Size of a cassette tape
Cons: Non-intuitive User interface Weak Playlist feature Heavy

20 GB...it makes those 128 MB players seem like they're from the 90's. 1/150th of the amount of space.

Definitely the best feature is the ease of connectivity to any NT based system (Windows 2000/NT/XP). Most computers that I have connected to...
