Archos 2 Video MP3 Player 8 GB (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Good - Great audio quality. Controls well labeled and easy to use. Uses Standard mini USB connector. Screen is very bright and easy to read. Everything works as described. Pictures and video looks ok. Nice compact size. Dedicated volume buttons.
The Bad - The micro SD card does not integrate in with the memory in the player. When playing a song only the file name is displayed. No playlist support. No genre support. No lock button.
The Ugly - the mini USB connector does not plug all the way in. It goes in about half way and wobbles. It works but very poor design. The headphone is very difficult to remove from the jack. The micro SD card plugs into the player and leaves about 1/8 inch hanging out of the player. The exposed edge of the SD card snags on everything. No album art support.
The Strange - When you turn the player on with the on-off switch it does not come on. After turning the power switch on you must then press and hold the play-pause button. You can turn the player off by pressing and holding the play-pause button OR turning off the switch. Not sure what they had in mind here.
Conclusion - very decent hardware in need of some decent firmware. Very good value for the money.
