Amazon.com Product Description

With the Archos 500846 104 4GB MP3 and WMA Digital Music Player and Photo Viewer (Black), you can take your best music and pictures with you wherever you go. The perfect companion for everything from long trips to short bus rides, from going to parties to just hanging out around the house, the Archos 104 lets you not only take your favorite moments with you, but helps you make new favorite moments wherever you happen to be.

Of course, the main purpose of the Archos 104 is to play music. Because it has a real hard disk inside of it with four gigabytes of memory, you can store up to 2,000 songs in WMA format at 64kbps, or up to 1,000 songs in higher quality MP3 format at 128kbps. This unit comes able to play not just MP3 and WMA files, but protected WMA files, and even uncompressed WAV files at full CD quality. You can even play iTunes on your Archos 104 by downloading the proper update from the Archos website, and as new audio formats are created, future updates will also be made available on the manufacturer's website so your Archos will continue to support the newest and best audio formats. Using a standard audio cable, you can also play your music through a home entertainment system, allowing you to bring your entire CD collection with you anywhere, and play it over anyone's sound system.

Putting music on your Archos 104 is as easy as dragging and dropping any of your unprotected music files. For protected, purchased music from PlaysForSure web sites, it's as easy as clicking the Sync button in Windows Media Player. With its USB 2.0 high speed port, transfers are finished before you know it, and the internal battery gets recharged at the same time. The Archos 104 is also ID3 compatible, meaning that the ARCLibrary will sort your music so that you can listen to it by artist, album, title, year, or genre, or just click on shuffle and listen to your music at random. The ID3 tagging also lets you view the CD jacket cover for any of your music while you are listening to it.

With your Archos 104 you can also store and view up to 40,000 photos in JPEG2 or VGA format on the built-in, 1.5-inch OLED color display screen. The use of OLED (organic liquid-crystal display) technology with its smaller carbon-based molecules, creates a screen that is brighter, thinner, lighter, and faster than normal LCD displays, providing you with not only a smaller player, but a screen that is more easily viewed in bright lighting conditions, and at greater angles. All you need to do is transfer pictures from your computer to your Archos 104, and you'll be able to easily look at them in high quality, wherever you are.

Finally, you can always use the Archos 104 as a portable hard drive to carry important files with you. You can even use the Archos' intuitive double-browser to easily organize, rename, create, copy, move, and delete files and folders, as well as creating your own playlists from the music you already have stored. You can also autosync with Windows Media Player 10 to quickly and easily transfer your songs and your playlists from your PC.

The Archos 104 has a built-in line-out jack as well as its stereo analog earphone output. This unit is not only has a USB 2.0 port, but is backwards compatible with USB 1.1 as well, and can be used with either a PC or a Mac. The built-in rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery provides you with up to 13 hours of music playback or picture viewing, and is not only recharged via the USB 2.0 connection, but can be charged via an optional power charger as well. Firmware updates can be downloaded from www.archos.com so your Archos is always up to date and running at its best. This unit comes in a match-everything black color, and is eminently portable, weighing only 2.8 ounces, and measuring approximately 1.7 x 3.6 x 0.5 inches (W x H x D).

What's in the Box
Archos 104 digital music player, 1 x USB 2.0 cable, 1 x pair of stereo headphones, a quick-start guide (with a full user's manual preloaded on the 104's hard drive, and available for download as a PDF to your PC), and a neck strap.

Excellent player.......2007-08-31

The controls are easy to use. The thing works great. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Better than an iPod.......2007-08-23

I got the Archos 104 for a couple of reasons. Its affordable and I've heard that it works great. After getting it, I agree on both counts. Not only is this an MP3/photo storage unit, it also functions as an external hard drive. Unlike the iPod, you can storage any file type on this device. It charges quickly and has great battery life. And the batteries don't half life down after a month to six months of use. Its a great buy.

I have no personal experience, but my grandson thinks it is great!.......2007-06-27

It made me "the best mom ever"

Good Nano alternative.......2006-11-29

I have owned it for two months and have had no problems noted by the previous reviewer. I have loaded it up with MP3 and WMA music files and with music from PlaysForSure web sites. I have not put any photos on it but the display is bright and displays album music covers just fine. It looks great and works great.

Ameriphone Wake Assure Clock Rocks.......2007-12-25

I love this clock because it wakes me up every time. I am deaf in one ear and am a deep sleeper. Until now, I haven't been able to find a clock that would awaken me reliably. I have to take medicine during the night, so I need a clock that will wake me up consistently. I use all three modalities together--alarm, light flasher, and bed shaker. I think the shaker has the most effect on me. It's not unpleasant, but it does get my attention. If I were to change anything about the clock, I would add the ability to set two separate alarms because sometimes I need to get up more than once before night's end. It would also be nice if one could make the numbers go in reverse when selecting an earlier hour for the alarm. However the clock and alarm are not difficult to set.

Motivation.......2007-03-24

This product does what it should. WAKE YOU UP!
I'm a hard person to wake so it was a necessity to find something original. The built in light flasher and bed shaker helps with that. The bed shaker is kinda mild but does add an extra element to it and you can change the alarm clock tone which is handy if you also get somewhat 'immune' to the same sound after awhile. If you have a light hooked to it you can also use the snooze button for an on/off switch for the light which is very handy.
