Pros:Easy interface, good sound quality, massive storage.
Cons:Wish I could search through a song, download times
The Bottom Line: My final recommendation is get it. If you want something a bit more flashy, you could get the iPod, but you will definitely pay more for it.

Pretty much, the pros and cons speak for themselves. The Archos Jukebox Studio 20 MP3 Player was given to me as a birthday present. When I got it out of the box and hooked it into the computer, my operation system (Win2K) recognized it and went about setting it up as an E: drive. Once that was done, I transfered my files to it. 4.3 GB in about an hour and a half, not too shabby!

After that, I tested it out by putting other files on it. I wanted to use it as a portable storage device. I put .psd, .asf, .wmv, .wpd files, pretty much anything I could grab onto this thing. The next day, I brought them into work and they transfered with no problems.

Now onto the sound. In a word, great! The headphones sound good, other headphones that I own also sounded good, and it works fine in the car.

***Update***

09/09/2004: I have had the Archos Studio 20 now for more than a year. The battery life is still around the 8 hours mark and the quality of the audio coming out is good (as much as it can be with MP3 encoding). I have a different car now that doesn't have a tape deck, so I had to get a FM radio transmitter. So far, I have had no issues with the sound.
