Digital camera reviews of Archos Gmini XS 200 20 GB MP3 Player and Recorder
Digital camera Review: A lot of bang for your buck
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got my XS200 and after some fiddling I've gotten used to the controls. Reading the manual is a definite must for this player. The playlist builder works very well once you get the hang of it. The sound quality is great and it installs very easily on Windows 98 or 2000. It absolutely refuses to work with Server 2003 (my main OS) though.
Few people use 2003 for a desktop OS though, so I won't take points off. It only takes a few seconds to boot to 2000 to upload new music, and if you're using 2003 for your desktop chances are you're savvy enough to set-up a dual boot in an hour or two.
I got this player for $210 from New Egg, so despite some problems with my chosen OS it's still a fantastic deal for a 20GB player.
