I have had my Pocket Concert (PC) for about a half a year now. I can't go anywhere in school without people asking me if they can see it and listen to it. Heck, I could make millions of dollars charging people to use it on the bus home (i use it goin to school when i am half asleep). Everyone I know is astonished at how loud this little thing can get and like the amount of songs I can put on it. Now to the details:
Sound: The sound on this player is amazing as it is coming from (i believe) the biggest mp3 (maybe even cd) player amp there is. It is crisp and as if it is coming from a real cd if you at least have it at a reasonable kbps.
Memory: With 128 (125.5 with the software) megs it has good standard size for a normal mp3 player. With songs at 128 kbps i can normally fit about 30 normal length songs on the player. This was perfectly fine when I first got it but now that I have more songs and no more about digital audio players I sometimes cry (well, u know what i mean) that I didn't wait and get a jukebox (20gigs is very hard to beat in the new archos). But then, for a first I think I made a very good decision, especially when the jukeboxes were above 400 bux then (now i could pay the same price for one as i did for the player plus accesory kit). Oh also, maybe if they will just make a standard mp3 player next time they should have expandable.
Ease of Use: Well, this thing is pretty dang fool proof. You pretty much have the play, ff and rw buttons, a scroll wheel, volume, and the button that switches b/t the harddrive and radio. When other people take a look they pretty much know what they are doing on site, maybe with the hint of the scroll wheel.
Price: When I bought it, it was in the upper price range esp with the accesory kit but it was well worth it.
Conclusion: If you are a serious audiophile with gigs and gigs of songs, like i have become, get a jukebox, it will probably be worth your money but if you like a general few songs and dont gain a lot get this. It is the best player with 128 megs or under of memory.
One more thing: On the price, the best deal is to go to ebay, they have these going for 180-190 now, they are the best source for digital audio players at low prices. I am looking into getting a jukebox soon and they have the archos going for under 200 brand new in box in some auctions.
