Title: Archos 604 Experiences?
Post by: glynor on November 21, 2006, 11:42:48 pm

I'm mildly considering buying an Archos 604 media player (if they come out with a 80 or 100 GB version like they have for the older 500 series I probably will buy one)...

I'm wondering... Does anyone have one?  How do you like it?  I would be using it purely for playback (both video and audio) and wouldn't need any of the DVR or recording features, so I don't care that they made that optional in the new version.  I know the buttons are a bit "niggly" but how is the UI?  Is it fairly quick?

Oh, and most importantly, how does it work with MC?  (I think it uses WMDM, but I could be wrong.)

I don't have one but a buddy does. The thing rocks but they make you pay $40 extra to be able to play AAC, H.264, MPEG-2, and AC3 (Dolby Digital).

I just ordered one for myself. I'll let you know how it works out.

So... How did it work out?

I'm still interested.  They actually just came out with a 704 I think... A bigger hard drive and whatnot.
