I really want to puchase this item, but I have a few questions that need to be answered that would really help make my decision to buy this album.

Anyone have this item?

I have a 320, although I will be upgrading the harddrive in it to 80GB in a month or so...

I have a few questions (if anyone could please answer

)

Can you bring the device into a car, hook up via Cassette adapter or CD Adapter? How is the quality if done through each respective source adapter? Would a cassette adapter setup make the music sound like cassette quality?

Does it come with a rechargeable battery? If so what type?

What is the output power in mW?

How friendly is the interface from jukebox to computer? How fast are its respective ports, Firewire and USB 2.0 transfer wise? How friendly is the internal jukebox Interface (I know Musicmatch is the program I use to transfer files from, but is the actual interface easy to use within the portable itself?)

Does the front screen scratch easy, especially if I am going to put device in my pocket? Is there anyway I can get a cover, or does it come with a cover? If not, is it a sturdy screen? Can the screen be replaced if scratched?

Can you put WAV files on this? If so, do you need to get the firmware to have the ability to playback/record WAVS? What does the firmware consist of? How hard is it to get, or do, can you just get it online and transfer is easily?

Being that this is a ‘Hard Drive’, could I conceivably put a webpage on there as a photo, pdf, or html and view it on the screen? The reason I ask this is if I want to read an article or more when I’m on the run.

Again, if you know answers or any details to these questions that would be greatly appreciated and would help me out a lot in my decision to purchase the item! Thanks!

Hey thanks for the answers

got a few more ?'s

Is their a firewire in, or do I have to buy the module. If so, how much is it?

Can I view images higher than 360x240 (since the pixels are that size)?

Also where can I buy a PDA protector do It doesnt scratch?

Is their a digital in? How common is this SPDIF or whatever?

Also what does the MEMORY CARD reader entail? Is it only for videos and pics (from camera attachments)?

Also how fast/smooth does the HD work overall?

thanks!

scott at hotmp3gear.com runs an archos yahoo group. shanebrinkmandavis.com is a web site devoted to archos. you should be able to get most of your questions answered by visiting those sites. (there are over 4,000 participants in the yahoo archos group, and several of them are very knowledgeable.)

I will probably revisit and do some searches before I upgrade the HD on it though
