Buying Archos 105 2 GB Flash Video MP3 Player (Gray)


I saw this Archo105 [under forty bucks] on Amazon and bought it for fun. It is smaller than a credit card, very thin and weighs nothing. Put it in your shirt pocket and you'll forget it's there.
The sound is great. The video player is not so great but watchable. The interface is sorta clunky, not pretty. It does have shuffle.
No removable battery/no sd card slot/no external lock(hold) button.

Archos105 interfaces with Windows media player 10, which will sync and easily convert many file types including AVI to mp3 or wmv. It will not convert mp4 files.(I don't know about Mac interface.) Since this player will only play mp3 and wmv files, other files will need to be converted to play in the windows media player v10.

I am surprised how much video this 2gb player holds. When converted to wmv files, a 250mb avi file shrinks to about 57 megabytes. I have a whole season of The Simpsons on my player with lots of room to spare.
For the money it is a good deal and I'm happy with this player.
A far better item is a Meizu player which has more EQ options and a much bigger and better screen and is just as small.Get more detail about Archos 105 2 GB Flash Video MP3 Player (Gray).
