I had this archos for two years. Went out and bought an Apple Ipod. No comparison, Archos may not look great but by far is much better than the IPOD. The Archos is easier to use and sounds better also. Who cares about looks when ease of use is more important and the sound is deeper and clearer than the Ipod. Ipod sounds flat in comparison. I gave my 20 gig Ipod to my daughter and went back to good old reliable Archos..
 Ok! for a while... June 29, 2005

I have had this for about a year now & it has been great. I replaced the firmware with Rockbox, an open source software for the player.
When I say that Archos is better sounding than Apple Ipod, I know it our of experience as I recently bought into the ipod hype & bought an Ipod mini.
Archos is definitely not as good looking like IPod or Ipod mini. Howver as far as repoducing the sound is concerned, it beats IPod hands down. Ipod for all its hype sounds flat; no bass or depth. Archos sounds fuller when playing the same songs.
Although Apple's Ipod looks great & is snaller in size than Archos, I care deeply about the quality of the music. And even with the best headphones & numerous tweakings, Ipod is flat.
Serves me right for buying into the hype.
