## Description

desertcart.com The palm-sized Archos Jukebox 6000 has a sleek design that will have you listening to your music collection in style. With a whopping storage capacity of 6 GB, you can listen to more than 100 hours of MP3 music at 128 Kbps. It also doubles as a USB hard drive, with up to a 1,150 Kbps sustained transfer rate. Truly palm-sized, the Jukebox 6000 measures 4.5 inches tall, 3.2 inches wide, and 1.3 inches deep. The Jukebox 6000 features a proprietary shock protection system that senses any sudden drop of the drive and automatically parks the read heads to a safe landing area before the drive hits the ground. Four thick rubber pads in the corners further cushion shocks, and a 2 MB read-ahead buffer stores from 30 to 100 seconds of music to prevent interruptions caused by shocks or unbalance. MP3 and WAV file formats are supported, and Archos plans to provide the latest firmware upgrades for additional digital audio formats via downloading from its Web site. RealJukebox software (for PC and Mac) comes bundled with the Jukebox 6000. The Archos Jukebox 6000 features dual stereo line-in and line-out jacks, an LCD backlit screen, stereo headphones, a carrying pouch, USB connector cable, and an AC adapter (for recharging the 4 AA ni-cad batteries, which provide up to 5 hours of playback). Important note to customers: The Archos Jukebox 6000 requires a USB connection to your computer. It is compatible with Windows 98 and 2000; Windows 95 and Windows NT are not supported. It is also compatible with USB-enabled Macs running Mac OS 8.6 or higher.

Review: It makes me happy - It took me a few weeks to decide on an MP3 player, and it was a recommendation from a friend that landed me on the Jukebox. Pros: -Easy to load to and from. Rather than using a specialized program to manage files, it uses a regular drag-and-drop interface. -Clear filing system. When selecting tracks to play, you get to set up the heirarchy of files however you like. For example, Genre -> Artist -> Album -> Song. Makes the one-line display surprisingly easy to navigate. -File transport. I also use the player to carry larger files to share with friends (movie trailers, shared programs, etc.). Good for pals without broadband. -USB. USB is fast! It took me about 1/2 hour to upload all my MP3s. -Long battery life. I haven't had it die on me yet, and I usually only charge it every other day or so. -Great storage. I have about 1GB of MP3 files, so I still have quite a way to go before it's even nearly filled. Cons: -Only MP3. The current Firmware version still only supports MP3 format, so the few CDs I had stored as WMA I can't play (although WMA  MP3 converters are available). -Boot up. Since it's a hard drive, it takes a few moments (about 30 seconds) to boot up. The only true kicker is you have to hold the power button the entire time, which is annoying if you're about to go out jogging. -Moving parts. Since the unit is not solid-state (it's a hard drive), it's possible to make it skip, or severely damage it in a fall. So far I've only made it skip one time, and it was while leaping from a bus exit to the curb. -No one-touch volume. Probably the biggest downer is the lack of volume buttons or a wheel on the unit. To adjust volume, you have to access the control from the main menu. It's only two clicks away, but a simple wheel on the side would have been nice. Over all, I'm very, very happy with this unit. If you just want a player for short jogs or the ride to work, a smaller, lighter unit would probably be better. But since I transport large files and like having a large selection of music on hand, the Jukebox 6000 is perfect for me.
Review: Great device...but a few glitches from Archos - I'm a techno-klutz and I got this thing working well in about a day...but without any help, at all, from Archos or its manual. PROS: size and technical features are great.(I looked at a Nomad--this is significantly smaller and more portable). It works extremely well through my e-machine. Once I figured out how to do it (with no help from Archos) I found it easy to transfer CDs (through MusicMatch) to the Jukebox drive. I now have the transfer process down to about 12-15 minutes per disc.[you just record the disc/selected tracks through MusicMatch's recorder. Label the artist and album on the recorder itself. Go to MyDocs/MyMusic folder on your C drive and simply click and drag (or copy) the recorded files to the "F" drive, corresponding to the jukebox. You can then reorganize the files directly on the F drive. Neat!) I've now got the music files organized by artist/composer, and they're easy to find on the device. I found the sound--despite what other reviewers have said--to be excellent...at least as good as a decent discman. I did substitute good, small headphones with an in-line volume control, since access to the volume on the machine itself is difficult. Sound is terrific when played through a Soundworks 88--and is quite good when played only through small, amplified speakers. CONS: Archos' instruction manual is almost worthless. It is hard to read, confusing, doesn't define terms etc. etc. Graphics are non-existent. Instructions for the MusicMatch software are not much better. Archos webpage is worthless. No instructions at all about the device. No FAQs of any value. No instructions. Nothing! Archos technical support "hotline" is absurd--I called many, many times the first day, and each time the call was sent directly to a voicemail box. Not once--with four messages--did anyone call back. When I finally reached someone--after several hours of trying--they were of virtually no help...didn't know the machine, couldn't communicate well in English, didn't get back to me when I called with followup. If you need help on this, don't look to Archos. Although I love the machine--and particularly the idea of having 100 to 150 of my favorite discs accessible anywhere--I think Archos should think twice about marketing this on a big scale until they can get product support. I'm serious--they've got the worst customer support/product support operation I've ever encountered! That being said, if you're not particularly computer proficient--like me--but are patient and motivated, you will be rewarded!
