Disappointed with the product

I bought this item a few years ago and my son had no problems with it but when I bought the second one I was really shocked he has so many problems. When you purchase this item, you are purchasing it directly from Revain. So if there is a problem with the firmware, you can replace it. Otherwise, it's easy to load music on it, and it has an excellent screen backlight. If only Archos had solved the firmware problem. That would be the only MP3 I would buy.

Pros
  • 4GB hard drive gives you up to 2000 songs and up to 40000 pictures to store
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Poor design: MP3 and MP4 players

Bought this thing in July 2007 - me I just threw that thing in the trash. Many cons of this product: - Difficult to navigate - Audio has a smooth transition between songs, but you can't access the menu for 5-10 seconds when changing songs (very inconvenient when you want to skip a song or stop playback ) - headphones contain very inconvenient - randomly switching to other songs for 5-10 seconds before returning to the original song. Spend money on an iPod, it's worth it

Pros
  • Lightweight digital music player and photo viewer with easy to use, intuitive controls and bright 1.5" OLED display
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Terrific item for MP3 and MP4 players

This MP3 Player, if available, call it a piece of junk. The picture looks good, but the case is cheap plastic and feels like it will break when you press the button. It really looks like a ripped off iPod nano and has the same quality. Screen lacks clarity in terms of images, music played fine but only worked for a few minutes! Everything was fine and dandy until we plugged it into the computer, then we got an error saying it couldn't read the hard drive and started making a clicking noise…

Pros
  • Uses a high-speed USB 2.0 port for both file transfer and charging and includes a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that lasts up to 13 hours
Cons
  • Fits
