Digital camera reviews of Archos 2 Video MP3 Player 8 GB (Black)
Digital camera Review: A decent MP3 player for the price
Summary: 3 Stars
The Archos is great for the price on Amazon. Transfering music is not as simple as with the iPod. It does not play mp4's so transferring iTunes purchases is not possible. It does encourgae finding cheaper music through other MP3 sellers. Battery life is decent. The buttons require a firm press and finding accessories is not easy. The volume is good, you can't blair it loud, which is a plus or minus depending on what you want to do.
