Great sound,compact, and the pictures are very clear. from Dell.com Strengths: Long battery life, easy content loading, variable navigation speed (a must for audiobooks), small size, good color display. Weaknesses: Does not play 32kb and 64 kb mp3 files, e.g. audiobooks, which other Archos products do play. Summary: I have never found a low bit rate mp3 file that the XS100 and XS104 players would play. from Pricegrabber.com I am in IT and a coworker of mine took a look at it also and couldn't do anything. I ended up throwing it away in discuss. I've got Archos products that I've had in excess of 5 years! from Amazon.com i've always been a creative zen girl but this player, so far, has been pretty awesome! the battery life is good and even though it's only 4gh it's ok i think i can live with that. i'll let you know in a few months if i still like the player cause i dont think anyone should just take this review and run with it. from Amazon.com If you buy this item buy directly from Amazon, so if there are any issues with the firmware, you can get it replaced. Otherwise it is easy to load music onto it, has a great lit screen. If only Archos would fix the firmware issue it would be the only mp3 I would purchase. from Amazon.com A small, affordable, general purpose MP3 player comes to mind if you were to ask me to describe the Archos 104. But this baby is not be so ordinary when it comes to performance, and reliability. from Amazon.com We had purchased an Archos DVR in the past and loved it, so that is why I chose this brand for our MP3 player. I also have a Sanyo and have had problems loading song titles properly. from Amazon.com I've had a chance to use it for a month, and remembered to update the firmware to the latest version from the Archos website. (N. from Amazon.com Pros: This player has the distinction of having no positive qualities. Cons: I purchased this at a local retailer on sale for my nephew and returned it 4 days later after trying everything to get it to work properly. This is a hard drive based player at 4GB (HDD not listed in any specs), basically the same capacity of a 1st gen i pod (October 2001!) without any i pod quality. from Newegg.com I got the Archos 104 for a couple of reasons. Its affordable and I've heard that it works great. from Amazon.com
