Product Description
Product Description
With the Archos 500852 104 4GB MP3 and WMA Digital Music Player and Photo Viewer
(Silver), you can take your best music and pictures with you wherever you go.
The perfect companion for everything from long trips to short bus rides, from
going to parties to just hanging out around the house, the Archos 104 lets you
not only take your favorite moments with you, but helps you make new favorite
moments wherever you happen to be.
Of course, the main purpose of the Archos 104 is to play music. Because it
has a real hard disk inside of it with four gigabytes of memory, you can store
up to 2,000 songs in WMA format at 64kbps, or up to 1,000 songs in higher
quality MP3 format at 128kbps. This unit comes able to play not just MP3 and WMA
files, but protected WMA files, and even uncompressed WAV files at full CD
quality. You can even play iTunes on your Archos 104 by downloading the proper
update from the Archos website, and as new audio formats are created, future
updates will also be made available on the manufacturer's website so your Archos
will continue to support the newest and best audio formats. Using a standard
audio cable, you can also play your music through a home entertainment system,
allowing you to bring your entire CD collection with you anywhere, and play it
over anyone's sound system.
Putting music on your Archos 104 is as easy as dragging and dropping any of
your unprotected music files. For protected, purchased music from PlaysForSure
web sites, it's as easy as clicking the Sync button in Windows Media Player.
With its USB 2.0 high speed port, transfers are finished before you know it, and
the internal battery gets recharged at the same time. The Archos 104 is also ID3
compatible, meaning that the ARCLibrary will sort your music so that you can
listen to it by artist, album, title, year, or genre, or just click on shuffle
and listen to your music at random. The ID3 tagging also lets you view the CD
jacket cover for any of your music while you are listening to it.
With your Archos 104 you can also store and view up to 40,000 photos in JPEG2
or VGA format on the built-in, 1.5-inch OLED color display screen. The use of
OLED (organic liquid-crystal display) technology with its smaller carbon-based
molecules, creates a screen that is brighter, thinner, lighter, and faster than
normal LCD displays, providing you with not only a smaller player, but a screen
that is more easily viewed in bright lighting conditions, and at greater angles.
All you need to do is transfer pictures from your computer to your Archos 104,
and you'll be able to easily look at them in high quality, wherever you are.
Finally, you can always use the Archos 104 as a portable hard drive to carry
important files with you. You can even use the Archos' intuitive double-browser
to easily organize, rename, create, copy, move, and delete files and folders, as
well as creating your own playlists from the music you already have stored. You
can also autosync with Windows Media Player 10 to quickly and easily transfer
your songs and your playlists from your PC.
The Archos 104 has a built-in line-out jack as well as its stereo analog
earphone output. This unit is not only has a USB 2.0 port, but is backwards
compatible with USB 1.1 as well, and can be used with either a PC or a Mac. The
built-in rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery provides you with up to 13 hours of
music playback or picture viewing, and is not only recharged via the USB 2.0
connection, but can be charged via an optional power charger as well. Firmware
updates can be downloaded from www.archos.com so your Archos is always up to
date and running at its best. This unit comes in a stylish silver color, and is
eminently portable, weighing only 2.8 ounces, and measuring approximately 1.7 x
3.6 x 0.5 inches (W x H x D).
