Product Description

Compact and portable, the palm-sized, Archos Jukebox 6000 stores and plays up to 6000 minutes of MP3-quality music, 150 audio CDs or 1500 songs.

Merge your entire collection of MP3s and CDs into one compact, portable device, and you'll never have to scramble for your favorite tunes. Featuring massive 6GB storage capacity, the Jukebox 6000 can store an amazingly large collection - the equivalency of over 150 CDs! In addition, the Jukebox 6000 is a fully functioning USB Hard Drive. With its hot swappable, plug-and-play, USB connection, you can conveniently store all your personal files, along with all your favorite music selections.

Amazon.com Review

Imagine being able to take your entire music collection with you everywhere you go. The Archos Jukebox 6000 portable MP3 player makes that dream real in a surprisingly small package and at a surprisingly low price. With its 6 GB portable hard drive (similar to the ones used in laptop PCs), the Jukebox 6000 can store over 100 albums and offers the tools you need to easily navigate and manage your tunes.

When we took the Jukebox 6000 into hand, we were immediately surprised at its small size. Measuring 4.5 by 3.2 x 1.3 inches and weighing only 12 ounces, it's much smaller and lighter than other similar players with 6 GB hard drives. The unit runs on a rechargeable NiMH battery that can deliver up to eight hours of playback on a single charge.

Installation went very smoothly, aided by the clearly written manual. We inserted the driver disk and plugged the unit into our PC's USB port. Windows found and installed the appropriate drivers, and the Jukebox 6000 showed up as a hard drive in Windows Explorer. (The Archos Jukebox 6000 is compatible with Windows 98, Me, or 2000, or a Mac running OS 8.6 or higher.) Transferring music files couldn't have been simpler--we just dragged and dropped files as with any hard drive. The Jukebox also works as an external hard drive for storing nonmusic files, making it perfect for making backups or transporting large files.

Of course, with so much storage capacity, organization becomes an issue. Since it's essentially a USB hard drive, we used folders to arrange our files. We made a Rock folder to store all our head-banging albums, a Jazz folder for the Louis Armstrong collection, and so on. The Jukebox shows the folder names on its backlit LCD display, making navigation very simple. Using the included MusicMatch Jukebox software, we could also create MP3 playlists of our favorite songs, an extremely useful feature for organizing music.

The buttons on the face of the unit offer quick navigation, and there's a menu-driven system for setting volume, bass/treble, and random and repeat modes. The Jukebox comes with a pair of plastic headphones that clip over your ears and have a headband that swings around the back of your head. We found them comfortable to wear, and they provided a clear, crisp sound. There's also a line-out for connecting to your stereo system.

The Jukebox is quite rugged and very resistant to jolts, and it comes with a carrying case, which adds further protection. However, the manual recommends you keep it within a 30-degree angle of a horizontal or vertical position. Unlike a flash-memory based MP3 player, which has no moving parts, the Jukebox might not be ideal for taking along while jogging or doing other intense activity.

The Archos Jukebox 6000 finally puts an end to the problem of which songs to put on your MP3 player by letting you include all of them. It sets a new standard for MP3 players, offering huge storage capacity in a small, well-designed package. --Ken Feinstein

Pros:

Very small and lightweight
6 GB memory can store over 100 albums
Rechargeable battery

Cons:

Not ideal for active usage

Amazon.com Product Description

The palm-sized Archos Jukebox 6000 has a sleek design that will have you listening to your music collection in style. With a whopping storage capacity of 6 GB, you can listen to more than 100 hours of MP3 music at 128 Kbps. It also doubles as a USB hard drive, with up to a 1,150 Kbps sustained transfer rate. Truly palm-sized, the Jukebox 6000 measures 4.5 inches tall, 3.2 inches wide, and 1.3 inches deep.

The Jukebox 6000 features a proprietary shock protection system that senses any sudden drop of the drive and automatically parks the read heads to a safe landing area before the drive hits the ground. Four thick rubber pads in the corners further cushion shocks, and a 2 MB read-ahead buffer stores from 30 to 100 seconds of music to prevent interruptions caused by shocks or unbalance.

MP3 and WAV file formats are supported, and Archos plans to provide the latest firmware upgrades for additional digital audio formats via downloading from its Web site. RealJukebox software (for PC and Mac) comes bundled with the Jukebox 6000.

The Archos Jukebox 6000 features dual stereo line-in and line-out jacks, an LCD backlit screen, stereo headphones, a carrying pouch, USB connector cable, and an AC adapter (for recharging the 4 AA ni-cad batteries, which provide up to 5 hours of playback).

Important note to customers: The Archos Jukebox 6000 requires a USB connection to your computer. It is compatible with Windows 98 and 2000; Windows 95 and Windows NT are not supported. It is also compatible with USB-enabled Macs running Mac OS 8.6 or higher.

bigger than an IPOD.......2007-05-02

I've had this product for a number of years....and it is still working great. The ease of popping batteries out/in for recharge or replacement is fantastic. My typical use has been on long flights, driving a distance, and mall/trail walking. An IPOD is certainly smaller and lighter weight but this product fits my needs and I'm certain it will continue for many more years to come.

Buyer beware.......2005-01-16

My Archos Jukebox 6000 was defective right out of the box. When I contacted their customer service, the representative suggested I try standard batteries instead of rechargeable ones. When this didn't solve the problem I contacted them again. They then informed me they would repair the unit for "a flat fee of $65.00".

good...but not that good.......2004-11-06

Bought my archos 2yrs ago. Astonished by the amount of available space. Ended up converting and downloading most of my music colection into it. Used it evry day. It finally died a couple of weeks ago first due to battery connections stopping the re-charge, then catastrophic failure of the control buttons. Very Sad, much missed. ow looking for a replacement.

Piece of garbage..throw it against the wall.......2004-07-11

This product has OTB (out of the box) failures galore. I am not a demanding person of sound quality but here is the skinny: Shoddy workmanship on control button, lousy support, no documentation that helps with troubleshooting or even has simple instructions to shut it off, support software package failed to install on my computer and generaly faulty at birth. The hard drive immediately failed and the unit sounds like a mini 747 at take off when the hard drive is accessed. AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS..IT IS GARBAGE.

a pile of ****.......2004-01-17

ive had it for about a year and in the beggingin it ran great. now i cant even connect it to my pc. i have win 2k pro and win xp pro. as soon as i connect it, i get the bsod. ive never gotten the bsod b4 while runing xp or 2k. get a ipod, it costs more, but u get better quality and faster transfer speeds. in conclusion stay far away from archos products!!

Product Description

Whatever your applications are, Samsung has the perfect monitor to help you complete your tasks successfully. The SyncMaster 753DF Monitor has the flattest tube in the world. It's perfectly flat.

Amazon.com Product Description

No red.......2003-10-11

My monitor has a manufactured date of March 2001. The red tube must be dead, because I'm getting no red in my pictures. The picture's still really sharp, but wish I had all my colors back.

Great monitor if you can find the driver.......2003-07-29

Its a great monitor if you can find the driver. Which I can't. The samsung webpage crashes IE every link I click, and I've wasted an entire evening trying to find a driver for it and it still wont work.

Im buying a different brand next time!

Excellent Value.......2003-07-17

For the price, this monitor is great. The color & contrast are spot on. I'm very pleased (My third Samsung monitor).

BUYER BEWARE!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT FROM AMAZON!!.......2002-12-28

Here's why: I bought this to replace a monitor that seemed to be going haywire--turns out it was fine. I tried to cancel the order but wasn't permitted (it was too far in the process in less than 24 hours.) I didn't want to pay $40 tp return it so it sat for 3 months until I added a new computer for my business. After a week it started going in and out of focus, rendering it unusable. Although it was defective, Amazon wouldn't take it back (it was more than 30 days) and Samsung would replace it only with a charge of $40.

The bottom line: $140 monitor I could have bought at the mall and returned for a refund, $70 in shipping and days of hassle. I am an Amazon stockholder and I hate to say it but I would never buy a monitor or any electronics this way again.

As for the monitor itself, when it works--it's ok, nothing special and certainly not worth this aggravation.

Great price, Great Monitor.......2002-12-22

This is a great monitor for the price. Absolutly flat. Web pages look like paper scrolling by.

How many pictures will it store?.......2004-11-06

How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

The EP Memory Mobile Storage 64MB Compact Flash CF Card, like most 64MB cards, will store on average 71 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 53 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 32 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 25 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 20 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

Customer Reviews:

Don't Buy This Monitor!.......2003-06-14

I bought this monitor about three months ago and the first time I used it I noticed that the sides of the display where curved inward way too much, and no matter what I did with the OSD the sides of the display where either curved inward or outward way too much. Then about three days later I started having another problem with the monitor.... on the left side of the screen there would be a wave pattern every now and then, which would be enough to give you a headache and make you dizzy. I thought I would give CTX a chance because I heard a few good things about them.... boy did I make a mistake! It's back to NEC Multisync Diamondtron's and Sony Trinitrons only for me. Maybe I just got a bad one though, but I still don't recommend buying this monitor... why even take the chance. I'm returning this one before I start having more problems with it!

Excellent and Affordable.......2005-06-30

I recently purchased one of these units and have had great success with it. Our old 10/100 switch was starting to go on the fritz so we purchased this one to replace the old one and to upgrade at the same time. Installation was easy, I just moved all the ethernet cables from the old switch and plugged them into the same ports on this one. Then, I just powered the unit on and everything has been working fine since. Along with the gigabit network cards I just picked up this has been a great addition to the office. Great price for a great unit.

Aaah. After a long day of work and toil, you stretch out in your back yard and listen to the birds singing as the wind brushes through the leaves of the trees. What a gentle, bucolic setting this is. How relaxing. Now that you've relaxed, it's time to listen to some music of your own. This is where AR's speakers have an incredible edge - they're weather resistant so you can place them in your backyard Designed for use with amplifiers or receivers delivering 20-150 watts per channel 8 Ohms impedance Stylishly compact Weather-resistant Magnetically shielded for home-theater use Now. let's see how those birds react to the Dirty Vegas! Finish - Black

Amazon.com Product Description

Enjoy your favorite music in the backyard, on the patio, or while soaking in a covered hot tub with these Acoustic Research Edge Pro outdoor speakers. Also suitable for indoor use, the two-way speakers excel as a straightforward stereo pair, as satellite speakers in a surround sound setup, or as remote speakers in a multiroom system. Their flexible, weather-resistant design stands up to a variety of climate conditions--such as light sprinkles, heavy winds, or hot sun--though Acoustic Research recommends installing them in protected (covered) locations, as they aren't totally waterproof. To make installation easier, the company supplied built-in swivel brackets that serve as either a base (for sitting on a bookshelf or table) or as a wall or ceiling mount for precise directional placement.

Audio-wise, each molded-polymer, ported enclosure houses a 5.25-inch polypropylene woofer that handles the mid and low frequencies and a 1-inch tweeter to crisply reproduce the high notes. The time-aligned driver design ensures a flat frequency response of 70 Hz to 20 kHz regardless of the application. Although the speakers reproduce crisp sound by themselves, they perform particularly well when combined with a powered subwoofer and other home theater elements, as the additional speakers help fill in the audio profile. The speakers are also magnetically shielded to prevent video interference when located near a TV.

The Edge Pro's other tech specs include a power range of 20 to 150 watts, a nominal impedance of 8 ohms, and 91 dB sensitivity. Each speaker measures 6.75 by 9.62 by 6.38 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a generous five-year warranty on parts and labor.
