 I think it's great April 1, 2008

Very pleased with the 504. br / br /Plays just about everything out of the box - except MP4 podcast, for which you need to buy codecs from Archos. They're device id specific, so pirate downloads won't work. br / br /Bought it from Pixmania for about 100 less than the going rate, just over a year ago. Pixmania aren't that great at customer service - paid for express delivery, but with their messing about to verify identity, it took nearly 2 weeks to arrive. br / br /
 Could Be Perfect but ... October 29, 2007

I have been buying Archos products from the early days and have generally been very happy. However I have noticed from moving from the AV500 to the 504 that there is now hiss on the quiet passages of music. This is more noticeable at the beginning of tracks. I am using a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort 3 headphones. When using the Archos supplied headphones the hiss is not as pronounced but the sound quality is not as good. I have tried a friends 405 and the hiss is still there but on the AV500 there is none. If you plan to use high quality headphones this is one to watch

The first machine I bought did not play well. I contacted Archos 3 times, their customer service department don't even respond to emails, says it all I guess. However good old Amazon sent me a replacement straight away. I cannot knock the product it is really good, however Archos as a company, well they are rubbish, hence only 4 stars.

Have had a 504 for around 10 days now. Had an AV400 prior to this for many years has given faithful service( still is working fine but has been seconded by my wife). br /The 504 is a clever bit of kit but different in many ways from the 400 series. So knowing how to handle one previously I still had difficulties getting to grips with the features of the 504. The machine has a manual inbuilt but it is a bit of a bind having to go read what you want to know, exit try re enter for more data. br /The biggest tip I can give anyone about this machine (if you want an easy learning curve), is go to Archos web site download all 58 pages of the manual print them off. It's then a doddle to find out what you need to know to get to grips with the machine. br /In summary, it's a good bit of kit. Screen is clear, sound through the phones is good is relatively easy to work (when you know how) A good buy!

I already own the gmini 500 and love it so when Archos brought out the 04 range i splashed out and purchased the 80 gig version and the docking station, i had researched very hard and even bought a well known "fruit!" mp3 player and though it had some nice features i sent it back as i was unhappy with some of the other features, so i turned my attentions back to Archos and i have not regretted it, the pic quality is excellant and sound is great and i love the fact it is sooooooooooo easy to load songs.movies and pictures via the pc onto the device ( it can be set like an external HD) and also it has the pictbridge so you can connect your compatble digital cam to transfer photos direct so if like me when i went on my hols you can come back to the hotel each night put the days pics onto it and thus leaving the cams memory free for the next day
