Archos 604 Wi-Fi 30 gig media player

Drew(cousin) got his Archos player today. Been charging it since 5PM today and it just finished at about 10:30PM. I put all my music on it as well as the “Trapped in the Closet” episode from South Park. For the most part, I avoid South Park like the plague. But anytime you make fun of Tom Cruise and Scientology, I’m so there. R. Kelly clownin’ is an added bonus. Also put Bob Saget’s HBO special on there.

The touch screen is very nice. Very responsive. Menu’s are all easily navigated. Maybe a few too many “touches” needed in the music area. For example, if you search by artist, there’s minimum 5 touches to get to one specific song.

Can’t say anything about the wifi as I’m nowhere near a hotspot. Downfall of living in the country.

Again, very easy to add files. Just plug in via the supplied usb cord and then drag and drop. The 2 video files I added didn’t need converted at all, they played with no problems. I think they’re both encoded with xvid. I know wmv files work as well.

With all that said, I want my Archos player :(
