The Bottom Line:
This is the worst piece of junk ever. This thing broke and I lost all my Mp3s because of a bumpy car ride. Never will I buy another Archos product.
I bought my archos jukebox 6000 about 2 weeks ago. I always kept it in good condition and never have I dropped it on the ground. Yesterday I was in my car and using this product with a car set that I have. Everything was working fine until we hit a bumpy section of the road. It was just some pot holes here and there but nothing unusual. The jukebox was placed on a seat and all of a sudden it started skipping. I figured it wasn't anything serious and probably was skipping due to the road. That's where the problem started.
I turned off my archos when it started skipping and when we got on the highway where it was a smooth ride, I turned it back on again. This time, it wouldn't turn on fully. It would reach the screen that says "Jukebox 6 gig version 4.53g" and just stop. It wouldn't get to the main screen where all my mp3s were stored. I then tried to turn it off and restarting it and the outcome was the same. So then I figured it must be running low on batteries. Thus, I unplugged the jukebox and stored it in the glove compartment.
When I got home, I decided to plug the jukebox into the ac adapter that came with this product and see if it would work then. Result was the same! The archos wouldn't get past that start up screen! That's when I got worried and my last hope of getting this thing to work was to plug it into my PC and see if I could access the harddrive from there. Everything was fine when I plugged this thing in, but when I went to "My Computer," I noticed that the Archos drive was no longer known as the "ARCHOS" drive but now my comp reads it as "Local Disk (E:)." I then decided to double click on the drive and it said "Drive not formatted, would you like to format it now?" I clicked the "NO" button hoping that maybe some of my MP3s would be saved.
I then unplugged the jukebox from the PC and tried once again turning it on. This time the jukebox actually got to the main screen where all my MP3s are supposed to stored. However, instead of showing all my folders and all the mp3s I had, it said "Empty." I then proceeded to browse the menu and see if the settings I had were still there. The result was everything seemed to be set back to default.
This must be the worst thing I've ever bought! My $275 went to complete waste and I will return this product and get a Treo Player or a Nomad Jukebox.
