Archos Jukebox Studio (20 GB) MP3 Player

Pros: Low cost, holds more than CDROM or memory-stick players.
Cons: A little quirky, and has a few quality problems.

Mine is a Jukebox 6000 which is basically same as the current player, but with a smaller hard drive. Still works great except that some of the cheap silver paint has rubbed off the case and buttons. I use it as a personal stereo, I plug it into my home ...

Pros: Small, great battery life.
Cons: USB 1.1 is slow. Go for the USB 2.0 model

I have a new favorite gadget. The Archos holds a lot of music, sound quality is excellent, and I'm getting plenty of battery life. I use it on trips and easily get 10 hours from the batteries. The unit is easy to hack too, you can add new batteries if...

Pros: good features, large capacity, good price
Cons: heavy, durability is somewhat bad, low power output, you need a little computer knowledge

Alright, I got the Archos 6000 about 2 years ago for Christmas. I loved this thing. You put music on it by connecting it with a usb cable. It appears as another drive on your computer. so you can just drag and drop files in there, and organize it with ...

Pros: Stores 6000 minutes of music, comes with rechargeable batteries.
Cons: Heavy, big, doesn't always work.

LATEST UPDATE (05/21/05): I wrote this review a very long time ago and still stick with it. I just wanted to add that now I have the Apple iPod mini and it is amazing. I couldn't be more happy with that product. ______________________ THE ...

Pros: Compact, inexpensive, software upgradeable
Cons: Relatively short battery life, Mechanical construction, standard software

I have owned the Archos 6000 player for close to 8 months now and I have made many comparisons with other players. I am also knee-deep in MiniDisc technology so I feel fairly confident that I can make a meaningful judgment.

If you do not want...

Pros: -Can store many CD's worth of music -Clear backlit screen -Rechargable batteries
Cons: -Must go through many menus to find the song you are looking for

Everyday more and more things become digital. Of course, for a while now, music has been transferred digitally all over the place across the internet. For some, burning these onto a CD seems like a logical alternative. For others, however, putting...

Pros: ummmm... good concept?
Cons: battery life nowhere near what they claim - it just doesn't work!

This sub-standard product, coupled with the worst customer support have made my purchase an utter mistake.

I purchased my Jukebox 6000 from Comp USA approximately 6 months ago. There were a few mp3 players on the market that caught my...

Pros: Massive storage! Decent battery life. Good sound. Inexpensive compared to others.
Cons: Tech support nonexistent. Slow FF/Rew. Cheap headphones. Reliability suspect.

This was my luxury item courtesy of the tax rebate (thanks George!) and as you can see I'm doing my best to help keep the economy propped up. I've owned it for over a year now and it still runs strong. However, this unit has received a number of...

Pros: 6 gig of room, smaller than a deck of cards
Cons: Somewhat heavy, poor battery life.

I found the Archos Jukebox 6000 by accident. I was messing around looking at mp3 players on the internet when I saw it. I realized that this was something I truly needed. I got it a little under a year ago, and it was the best 300 dollars I have ever...

Pros: Good sound, long battery life, massive storage capacity, usable interface
Cons: Locks up, buggy firmware, gaps between songs.

First off - The image shown above is of the old model. The new 'RECORDER' model has better quality buttons, function buttons, and a higher resolution display (which all make it much more user-friendly).

So far I've had two of the same model...

Pros: Informative display, user interface very inutitive, recording capability, digital out, plenty of storage, low price
Cons: Larger than iPOD (but half the price). Annoying buzz/humm (fixable with Rockbox)

The choices in MP3 players are simple: solid state, CD, or hard disk. Before I bought the Archos Jukebox, I though the CD format is best for me.

I first purchased the Archos 20G Jukebox Player (without recording capability). After start using...

Pros: 6 gigs for $250 sounds great eh? rechargeable batteries
Cons: Skips, Heavy, Skips, hard to operate, Skips, bettery compartments

My wife and I went to best buy to purchase an MP3 player. She was not familiar with them and I only had somewhat of an understanding of them. I download them and play them on my PC and that's about it. I do know about the rates and the hissing so I knew...

Pros: price, built in memory, it's a hard disc
Cons: very heavy, low volume

this is my first MP3 player and it's been great. capability for 6000 minutes of 128 quality music. I've had this product almost a year and a've had no problems whatsoever with it. I have 600+ songs, complete movies, trailers, games, photos, documents,...

Pros: Storage
Cons: Poor cabinet design, buggy firmware

It was just too good to be true, that much storage in a small device. But in reality, this is a product with quite a few flaws. First of all, the firmware has many bugs. It freezes in mid-play, the player sometimes plays another song than the one you...

Pros: +Tons of Space +Easy Installation
Cons: -Battery Changing -Durability -Heavy

Is the Archos Jukebox 6000 really a good deal? Although is has many features and options does it last, is it worth $200?
Well, first off lets talk about it's features. It does have tons of space on it, 6 GB to be exact. Thats 150+ CDs on it....
