ipod me up

Pauly S · Sep 5, 2007

Hi all,

Anybody tried an archos204 20gb mp3 player? argos 119.99.
thats a lot of storage for not a lot of money, i believe its hard drive based,any feedback?any probs with motorcycle usage?
Im after an 8 gb ipod, but its a lot more cash than the archos,however the ipod is solid state and wont jump, or skip or stop, till it gets wet.
battery life is kind of similar too.
ive around 80gb of tunes , so filling it up isnt a problem, i recently rode 3500 miles in 9 days, and a 4 gb ipod went round the tunes at least twice, hence the idea of at least 8gb.
feedback is most welcome
ride safe. Kent

I had the archos 2something, bought about 3 years ago for £250. Great little machine and sound quality was supposed to be better than the iPOD according to some reports back then.

Mines wasted as I don;t use it much and I should do really, got sucked into buying an iPOD.

Haven't used it on the bike.

For £120 - bit of a bargain.

Buy a second hand Ipod Mini, 2nd generation, with a duff hard drive on ebay and install a 16gb compact flash card in place of the hard drive. Its dead easy and works great on my bike although I only use a 4gb card. This link explains how.
