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

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

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

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

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

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

Mar 26 '03
Pros: 20 Gigs, FM radio, USB 2.0

-
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

-
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

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

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
-
-
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
-
-
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
-
-
Oct 09 '02
Pros: Huge capacity, simple design, decent 4 - 6 hour battery life.
Cons: Manual does not adequately explain how to load MP3s to device
Summary: At first I was baffled by how this thing worked. Then I started to think of it as just another hard drive on my system -- and I've been happily loading up MP3s ever since.
You connect the Archos to your PC via a USB cord. It will support USB 2 ... read more

-
Oct 07 '02
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Everything else...
Summary: After reading all the bad reviews, I still bought this thing cause it was big and cheap. Figured I could just live with the quirks of the OS.
Wish that was the only problem!!!!
I got a nice setup at home with dolby digital 5.1 ... read more

Sep 26 '02
Pros: Small, Stores lots of music, Can also store data, Quick exchange of data
Cons: Hard to navigate, a little heavy
Summary: The Archos Jukebox Studio 20 is a great MP3 player although I don't like the way the navigation is setup to browse different songs. It takes a long time to find the song you're looking for unless you add it in your playlist which is confusing. The great ... read more

-
Sep 24 '02
Pros: It's a portable 20GB hard drive! And it's not a bad MP3 player, either.
Cons: Menu is odd. Headphones suck. Can't access the controls in the case. USB is sloooooow.
Summary: I nearly returned this thing after I got it. Why? Because the stock headphones SUCK, that's why. I didn't even realize how bad they are until I bought some of these: ... read more
-
-
Aug 29 '02
Pros: Battery Life, Cool Looking, Doubles as Hard Drive, Lots of Space, Fairly Easy to Use
Cons: Heavy, Somewhat Strange Interface, USB 1.1, only MP3 Support for Music
Summary: I recently bought the Archos Studio Jukebox 20 for putting my entire music collection on this system. I must say, I was very impressed. Costing about 2.5x more then a regular computer 20GB Hard drive, Archos gives you an excellent product. Not only does ... read more

-
Aug 22 '02
Pros: It is easy to download songs from your computer.
Cons: Beware of Archos customer service...
Summary: Apparently some people have had a great experience with Archos. I was not that lucky. After having the jukebox for only a week, and downloading a few songs (I started with about 20 songs just to test out the device), my jukebox started freezing up. ... read more

Aug 07 '02
Pros: Awesome storage capacity.
Cons: Size
Summary: I wanted an mp3 player for my birthday, so we began our search. We knew it was between the RCA Lyra2 (uses media cards for memory storage), and the ARCHOS Jukebox. I picked the RCA initially because of cost and size. I wanted to use the player ... read more

Pros: Lots of room for all your music and data, Fast USB interface,plug and play.

Jul 27 '02
Pros: Easy to use, Large capacity, USB 2.0 is blazing fast, portable hard drive
Cons: Unremarkable user interface
Summary: I've had my Jukebox 20 for a few months now and it's been a god-send. It's got loads of space, fast transfers, and really doesn't require software to use. I use it both for music and as an extra means of backup for various files including my websites. ... read more
-
-
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

Jul 13 '02
Pros: 20GB, mounts as drive, small
Cons: Sound quality, product quality, sound quality, (un)ease of use, sound quality
Summary: I narrowed down my search for a 20GB MP3 player to this unit and a Creative Nomad Jukebox. For the price and size, I picked up the Archos.
I liked the size of the unit, though it is a bit heavy. I was pleased to see it mount as a regular ... read more
-
-
Jul 11 '02
Pros: Inexpensive for amount of storage. Good basic player.
Cons: Archos has a better model available
Summary: One thing I find difficult in the Archos product line is differentiating between very similar looking devices. Hopefully I can show the differences between two models I tried, the "Studio 10" and the "Recorder 20". My ratings are for the "Studio 10", I ... read more

-
Jul 01 '02
Pros: Storage, Sound, Well Built, Durable
Cons: songs could be hard to set up for comp. illiterate
Summary: Well, i'm not exactly sure if it would be more or less then 200 but.. Also, please note that this is for the jukebox 10gb, but other then storage they are the same player. I got this player about a month ago. I decided a while ago that it would be ... read more

Apr 18 '02
Pros: Lots of space, Linux driver, doubles as HDD
Cons: Extremely buggy, bad user interface
Summary: Examples of bugs:

* Will display "batteries charging" message forever.

Pros: Storage, size, looks
Cons: Need to buy better earphones
Summary: When looking for an MP3 player, I knew I needed storage. I have had 2 64MB MP3 players, they just did not hold near enough. When looking I came up with two solutions, the Creative Nomad and the Archos studio 20 jukebox. I went to many different web ... read more

Apr 05 '02
Pros: Size, storage capacity, battery life.
Cons: poor sound, non-existent support, poor manual

Apr 03 '02
Pros: compact; 20 GB of storage! portable hard drive.
Cons: heavy, ridiculous battery compartment.
Summary: This is my third portable mp3 players. First one was a mp3 cd player by Napa, it was too big to carry. I then bought a Nomad II. Nomad II was good, but small storage (128 meg) and battery life was short. So I decided to buy a hard drive version of ... read more

Mar 16 '02
Pros: High Capacity at a reasonable price
Cons: User Interface is abysmal, weird lacking in many features
Summary: It seems most of the other reviews for the Archos Jukebox Studio 20 are either gushing 5-star gloss fests or 1-star diatribes on all that is wrong with the mp3 format and this player in particular. I'm afraid that my sentiments don't run too strongly in ... read more

Mar 14 '02
Pros: Size, Storage Capacity, Versatility, Upgradeable, Great online user community, Full version of Music Match included

After a year of using ... read more

Mar 01 '02
Pros: Massive storage, easy to operate, good sound quality.

Cons: Horrible documentation; bare-bones functionality; heavy; odd batteries; clunky interface; no Audble support

Feb 07 '02
Pros: 20GB, light weight, small unit, easy to use, uses m3u playlists
Cons: Can't use normal batteries, no remote

Dec 21 '01

Cons: The manual doesn't explain things very well, battery changes confusing.

Pros: stores mp3 AND data files, small size, large memory, line out jack
Cons: cumbersome controls

Cons: Headphones included with unit are poor.
