Archos 604 30 GB Portable Media Player - Refurbished (Silver) Customer Review

I bought this because I was on a bit of a financial shoestring. Though I must admit I was a bit afraid of buying a refurbished product. Amazon has always done right by me so that helped eased my tension. When my creative zen vision 30 froze and I could not get it fixed Amazon refunded my money with no problem or hesitation. Well I just got the Archos today the main reason why I bought it was because of the price and the fact that it was not a creative zen, a microsoft zune or an apple ipod. I would love to buy another creative product put they seem stuck on the 32 gb situation and if I buy something new I want it to have a bigger space to allow my music/videos to sprawl. Now I know I bought the 30 gb Archos so I actually lost 2 gb of space. However this is a test prodcut for me to see if I would want to buy a more expensive Archos later on down the road. At first I had some difficulty understanding it. This item came with no instructions or cd whatsoever. Not even the quick that gives basic diagrams for the technilogically challenged like me. So I just went ahead and plugged it in. My operation system automatically took care of it and the Archos booted up. However I had to put up the charging function, media function and harddrive function all seperately for some reason.
I kept trying to sync it using the media function and nothing would happen. So I switched it over to the harddrive and just right clicked on my mouse and sent it to the Archos. I really do miss creative vision compression technology. I have not had any difficulty so far but will keep an eye on the unit.
On the downside though it is huge I was hoping for something I can put in my pocket and carry along with me at times but will have to wait and see how portable this thing actually is.

Thanks Amazon you guys rock.
Paul
