  • Twisted Genius

    Jul 13 '02
    Pros: Battery life, storage, load times, small.
    Cons: File system may confuse and annoy some.

    Summary: This was an upgrade from my Creative 6GB Jukebox, which had appaulingly short battery life - 30 minutes? Please God no. So, with my warranty running out, I returned my Jukebox, and with the money I recieved in return (+£20 or so) I gladly walked home ... read more

  • If you are in the market this is the one to buy.

    Oct 19 '06
    Pros: Everything! How did I live with out it?
    Cons: Nothing except for the firmware that shiped wiht it. This was easily fixed.

    Summary: I've had my Jukebox for about a year now and use it daily without ever having a problem. I have read quite a bit of negitivity here and other places, but have not experianced any of it. The 4 main gripes I see are 1) Poor quality of MP3's. That ... read more

  • Nice features and a good price

    Sep 07 '04
    Pros: Easy interface, good sound quality, massive storage.
    Cons: Wish I could search through a song, download times

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Sad Sad Sad piece of equipment

    Nov 10 '03
    Pros: HUGE storage capacity, ability to recharge, not much else
    Cons: Stability, customer "support," speed of transfer, battery life, software, screen size

    Summary: I have been meaning to write a review about this Archos player I received last year but never got around to it (I was too busy trying to make it work). When I first saw this unit, I fell in love. It was one of the first with a hard drive of its size a ... read more

  • A Great Player For the Price

    Aug 15 '03
    Pros: This player has large capacity and is able to take a few bumps and bruises.
    Cons: The interface is very complicated.

    Summary: The Archos Jukebox really does give the consumer quite a bang for her buck. I had heard both glowin ... read more

  • Archos 20, install the new OS!

    Aug 01 '03
    Pros: Capacity, open operating system, size, usb 2.0
    Cons: OS shipped on the unit is bad, this causes most problems!

    Summary: I saw this unit had some good reviews on this site and I don't want to reiterate all the positive th ... read more

  • Not flawless, but an enjoyable gizmo

    May 12 '03
    Pros: Long battery life, massive storage, small size
    Cons: Crashes and freezes, display "blackout," no manual

    Summary: 14 JAN 2004 UPDATE: A few days ago, and without any specific reason, I decided to backup everything that was on my Archos player. The very next day the thing crashed. Call it ESP. I tried to copy my files back onto it but it still said that space was ... read more

  • Bottom line - I am more then happy with it

    May 08 '03
    Pros: Small/High capacity(20GB). Great sound quality. No drivers-PNP, maps as drive. USB2.
    Cons: Poor stability playing MP3 (works perfect as HD). No search option. FM tuner sucks.

    Summary: Let me start by saying this: It is not a perfect device; problems I have encountered suggest that the QA process is poor to say the least. Now, after saying that, I must declare again that I am happy with the device. The advantages are too ... read more

  • A very good product!

    Apr 15 '03
    Pros: really god space, good sound, easy uploading
    Cons: the sound... just buy new headphones but the headphones that came with it are fine!

    Summary: I have over 35 cds on my Mp3 player and i am not 1/4 of the capacity size. This is a great product! GET IT! If you are looking for size it isnt the smallest mp3 but compared to a cd player it is really small. The mp3 player fits in a regular pocket and ... read more

  • Big Bang for your buck! Updated!

    Mar 26 '03
    Pros: 20 Gigs, FM radio, USB 2.0
    Cons: System crashes seem inevitable, but correctable.

    Summary: This Review is for the Archos Jukebox FM Recorder. For some reason it keeps coming up for the Jukebox Studio. So please be advised!!! Detailed Pros: -20 Gig hard drive, for a lot of songs, or data. -Price: $279.00 at Best Buy, look for ... read more

  • The future is now... but that doesn't mean it's perfect

    Mar 22 '03
    Pros: Great for people who record from FM (i.e. talk show listeners)
    Cons: It likes to crash, but future firmware updates should cure that

    Summary: I picked up this little gadget at Best Buy after reading about it in their paper. $250 (plus extended warranty - hey, never know when you'll destroy the thing), struck as a good deal, plus an external hard drive, which this can be used as, didn't sound ... read more

  • Most Bang for the Buck!!!

    Mar 13 '03
    Pros: Features. Record from the FM tuner. Large capacity. Solid build. Doubles as USB 2.0 harddrive.
    Cons: Quirky firmware (occasionally crashes) Headphones stink.

    Summary: ** UPDATE ** This mp3 player worked great for the first couple months, and with the open source rockbox firmware was quite nice, but it gradually had more and more problems and eventually stopped working. Avoid this player!!! Since the release, and ... read more

  • Studio 20 is the way to go, but arm yourself with an extended warranty.

    Jan 14 '03
    Pros: Quick and easy. Big 20GB drive. USB Cable included. Not held to proprietary software.
    Cons: Lifespan. Support. Headphones. Instructions for replacing batteries are unclear.

    Summary: I purchased the Studio 20 in September and I have already utilized an extended warranty from my local retailer because the unit has already failed me. I am happy to have another unit and I bought another extended warranty to go with it ($25.00 ... read more

  • Good or Bad? Hard to tell...

    Jan 07 '03
    Pros: Storage Capacity, Drag and Drop Interface, Durability, USB
    Cons: Reliability, Carrying Case, Transfer Problems

    Summary: Pros: To be honest I bought this product when it first came to stores. I was attracted most to the storage capacity of the player because I own a lot of CD's, and now they're all in one place, on the player. It's very convenient for storing not only ... read more

  • Great player lots of capability

    Dec 01 '02
    Pros: Price, Storage space, firmware support (via third party via www.rockbox.haxx.se)
    Cons: Small display, buffer memory, need a small amount of computer savvy to use

    Summary: First things first, when you get the player unpack it and throw the head phones away. They are worthless but any other head phones work fine. I have had no complaints about the sound quality of this unit with standard headphones, I suspect that people ... read more

  • Archos Jukebox Studio 20

    Nov 04 '02
    Pros: 20GB disk size, price, sound quality
    Cons: User interface, cheap feel to buttons, headphones

    Summary: This review is being written a few days after receiving an Archo Jukebox Studio 20. I simply needed a device to play a large amount of music without shuffling CD's. Before purchasing this unit I examined as many reviews as I could. I found the reviews to ... read more
