Archos 2 8GB MP3 Player Reviews

+ very small and light, good radio ,good sound quality very pleased with my mp3 player

- none

+ over all an excellent mp3 player and radio great colour screen.loads of storage greatsound

- none

+ Its ok for a basic MP3 player, sound quality is ok, size is quite good, and alot of memory for the price.

- Screen quality is fairly poor, battery life is pretty awful, especially if the player is turned off but the switch is still on green. Buttons don't alway press properly. I have put music onto the player before and it hasn't actually transferred it properly, but still takes up the memory.

+ Value for money
large memory for the price
good looking

- Earphone provided has a rather short wire
No accessories available as yet

+ ease of use, great value

- no usb mains plug.

+ the choice of media player in this category is massive, you won't go wrong with this one if you can live with the items i listed in the bad points, they are not really bad points, just niggly 'cos i'm fussy - its light weight, stylish, easy to operate, huge capacity memory, & looks like an i pod (kind of) may daughter calls it her 'my-pod'

- Supposed to be plug and play, on first plug in the PC forces you to format the drive - which wipes the demo content. I was worried it would wipe the operating system, but this remained as it must be hard coded. worked fine after the format. Won't play music while viewing your pictures; video conversion software instructions poor making it difficult to understand how to do it, no album art, Music library didn't show all albums, yet when view by file type all are seen and able to be played.

+ It has a good spec for the price.
You can drag and drop music files.

- Look-wise it resembles a cheap mobile circa 2001. The screen is so low-res it resembles a Gameboy. Strangely the video it ships with plays in quite high resolution. Looks aren't everything but it is genuinely offensive to look at and has very flimsy buttons. Get it if you jog at night.

+ Great Value

- No Bad points

+ great drag and drop mp3 player.

- none

+ easy to handle just the right size

- fm radio should be dab

+ Nice small unit with a good sound and internal batteries. Also, having an micro SD slot this enables memory expansion or changing memory content quick and easy.

- When you turn the machine off and on again you start at the beginning of your music collection so you have to organise intofolders to make it quicker to getto the later music in your collection.

+ great price for an 8mg and great design and ease of use, good looking but i use a good set of earphones that increases sound quality.

- use your own ear phones.

+ Price, sd card slot, size

- Doesnt display album/artist when playing, not quite enough buttons

+ Love it, it's so small and neat. Havent used the micro sd card facility yet, but that is a great extra. Could create cards with music on to suit your mood.

- Creating/adding/amending files could be structured better and explained better in Instruction manual. But overall, a great buy at a brilliant price!

+ large buttons

- none
