  • Archos wins ANY competition!

    Apr 01 '03
    Pros: Excellent Sound Quality, Simple Navigation, Rockbox-Enabled
    Cons: NONE AT ALL. Best bang-for-buck I've seen in a LONG time.

    Summary: UPDATE!!! Now that I got my FM Recorder, I see where the Recorder 20 was flawed. Though it was a great little machine, I do now realize there is something a bit better, a bit worse - the FM Recorder 20. I keep the latter. It's near the same ... read more

  • Not a good product

    Aug 28 '03
    Pros: Compact, good sound, high capacity, needs no software.
    Cons: poor display, cheap headphones, short battery duration, locks-up frequently

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

  • You might want to look at the Nomad Jukebox III ***

    Aug 17 '03
    Pros: Seemed to have a lot of great features
    Cons: Unfortunately after 15 minutes of use it stopped working

    Summary: I bought this unit and spent many hours getting my music collection loaded on it only to have it fai ... read more

  • Buy the Apple not the Artichoke!

    Jul 31 '03
    Pros: Moderately priced, adequate controls.
    Cons: Large, heavy, poor display, *not* Mac compatible

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

  • Wow wow wow wow wow

    Jun 25 '03
    Pros: Low price, huge storage, recording input
    Cons: Haven't found one yet

    Summary: I use it on my Mac. I use it on my Wintel box. I record my vinyl LPs to MP3 files. I record rad ... read more

  • iPod Killer

    Jun 17 '03
    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

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • mine broke down within three weeks of buying it.

    May 22 '03
    Pros: 20gb
    Cons: no reliability, horrible customer service.

    Summary: within three weeks of purchasing this product for $279 tax, it became totally useless, (would not turn on) so i call customer service and their general attitude, (instead of being apologetic and trying to right the situation) was "well thats too bad, ... read more

  • The best personal mp3 recorder/player out right now.

    May 21 '03
    Pros: Recording options, Open source firmware, sound quality, battery power, 20GB data storage, internal microphone
    Cons: Disk motor noise for internal mic, mp3 only support, cons are low

    Summary: This is absolutely the best mp3 player/recorder out there hands down. It has features and interfaces that the other ones don't have yet. As I began to study all my choices for personal players/rec, this one stood out because of what it can do. It beat ... read more

  • YEE HAW! For the money, it's definitely worth it!

    Apr 30 '03
    Pros: Fantabulous Storage, splendid sound, easy drag and drop files, batteries rock
    Cons: A little heavy. CD recording issues with music match. Headphones blow.

    Summary: 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, ... read more

  • Buyer Beware

    Apr 16 '03
    Pros: Lots of memory, Inexpensive, nice portable hard drive
    Cons: Very low quality, very heavy

    Summary: I thought I was the only one who had problems with this product because the reviews have been good. Someone in my office had the same problems with the screen going out. Without the LCD screen, you can't play MP3s. Now mine functions as a ... read more

  • The Little Jukebox that Could

    Apr 10 '03
    Pros: 20 GB Simple File transfer Size of a cassette tape
    Cons: Non-intuitive User interface Weak Playlist feature Heavy

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • A "must have" for mp3 super users

    Feb 15 '03
    Pros: Pocket sized, storage capacity appearance, sound quality, batteries
    Cons: Display appearance, quality (or lack thereof) of included headphones

    Summary: 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. ... read more

  • Overall a good product, but I can see why some people don't like it

    Feb 14 '03
    Pros: digital in/out low cost/mb solid unit fast interface
    Cons: bad interface bad documentation tiny screen

    Summary: 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, ... read more

  • what a waste and disappointment!

    Feb 07 '03
    Pros: cheap, half as much as an IPOD
    Cons: crappy construction, crashes my PC, loses data regularly!

    Summary: so i decide i want to treat myself to a large storage device because my minidisc player, while reliable, is limited. a friend at work had this unit and so i asked him what he thought as i had read mixed reviews everywhere else (other than here!) ... read more

  • Archos hit the nail on the head - excellent product.

    Feb 04 '03
    Pros: Worth the price - a great gadget with great features.
    Cons: A little larger than some of its competitors.

    Summary: 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 ... read more
