First MP3 player/recorder with 6 GB HD
updated 01:45 pm EDT, Wed June 13, 2001
Archos Technology has introduced the Archos Jukebox HD-MP3 Recorder, a 12.3 oz MP3 recorder and player with a 6 GB hard drive, which can record up to 100 hours of high-quality music or 500 hours of voice recordings.
The $350 device, which is only slightly larger than a deck of cards, connects to any analog or digital audio source, including home stereo, radio, CD player, separate microphone via stero or in-line jack, and encodes and stores the audio as MP3 in real-time. A built-in microphone also allows voice recordings, and the unit offers USB connectivity with both Macs and PCs. The Archos Jukebox Recorder will be available online beginning June 21, 2001 and is expected to hit store shelves later this summer.

Don't buy it
Their Mac support is misleading. They do not offer iTunes compatability. The Hard Drive is formated to Windows, if you reformat to HFS it can no longer play MP3's. To make playlists you have to use MusicMatch. Not only does MusicMatch suck, but the Mac version does not provide compatablie playlists. a "4th party" created a playlist generator but it sucks compared actuall support from Archos. Buy the creative JukeBox instead. Oh and all these features were suppose to be enabled on their orignal product.
