Pros: memory, size, weight
Cons: menu system, battery loses charge, interface with PC, USB slow, random button function
The Bottom Line: Avoid it unless you like spending hours figuring out (each day) how to make it work

| helenbroughton's Full Review: Archos Jukebox Recorder 20GB MP3 Player |
I have the FM Recorder. When it works it seems great, but there are too many niggles.
(1) It takes several shut down/re-start attempts to get the PC to recognise it's there (no problem with other Plug & Play items)
(2) It won't start up unless I plug the USB in....not very helpful when travelling!
(3) It loses charge very quickly. A full charge lasted 10 hours the first time, 2 the second
(4) the menu system is fiddly and not at all intuitive
(5) Sometimes it won't play when charging, other times it will
(6) there's no aerial, so getting any radio station is nearly impossible
Overall, the product seems to function (or not) randomly. The things I did yesterday which worked fine then don't work in the evening or the next day.
I'd recommend waiting for a later version once the problems are sorted.
