I finally bought a portable MP3 PLAYER!!
I bought the Archos Studio 20 from Best Buy. It can hold up to 20 Gigs of music or if you want to you can use it as portable storage for any files you want. You can interface with it as if it were just another portable drive under My Computer and organize you music files(attaches via USB port) or just use the software pack that comes with it. I usually use the software first for label the ripped CD and tranfering the files then I do the reorganizing with My Computer. After moving music on it I've placed each band in their own file directory. After creating custom playlist files for each band I've done the same with those to.
It has a very good recharchable battery that can last up to 10 hours on a full charge or just run off the power adapter. It comes with a very odd looking set of headphones but they're actually quite sturdy and sound good. I'd prefer them over the really small ones that I guess come with most players.
The only gripe I have so far is the manual was very poorly written. After finally getting setup and getting used to using this machine though I like it alot. It's great to take along for a walk and since it has a line out option I'm using it to plug into part of the speaker system in my work area and blast my music all night long. :rock: :rock:
Finally the cost. The one I found was a returned unit so I got it for $200 and saved $70 off the original Best Buy price. I think that is about half what some of the iPods are going for.
