This MP3 player has everything I asked for : it is very small and light, very easy to connect (appears like an external hard drive as soon as you connect it and you just drag and drop songs anywhere you want, it also works with media player), it has enough memory and the archos firmware is very easy to use and allows you to do a lot of things like create playlists in a few seconds, queue songs as you want, rename your files etc...

However it doesn't have any game or radio (but I wasn't looking for that) and some people might find 3GB a bit too small.

First off, let me say that I have only had it for about 3 days. When I first got it, I was extremely suprised at the size. It is actully much smaller than the pictures make it look. It is a very stylish mp3 player, and the rechargable battery could have made it much nicer than many of its counterparts. The drawbacks: When navigating in the library or any other place, you can actully hear it working and loading. Now the worst part. When charging it it has to be hooked up to your computer... AND IT HAS TO BE ON! I was not happy at all when I discovered this, but I guess I should have read discriptions more closely. As far as I know the batteries are not removable or replacable (unless you use a screw driver). The screen does not look as nice as it does in the pictures, but it still looks fine. The sound quality is AWESOME. I personally think it sounds better than the I pod.

This is a great player. It is very easy to set up and get music on. The instruction sheet is a little confusing, but i did ok. The sound quality is GREAT! The earbuds that came with mine were deformed. The string connecting the right bud to the main string was way longer then the one on the left. Thats ok though. Overall, this is a great music player.

*update*
the headphones were not deformed

I'm also upset that there is only one case for the Gmini and it is on the Archos website for 29.99!!!! I wish a case cane with the player.

I just got this player recently and it is a nice player. The screen isint as attractive as the picture shows it to be and the item is much smaller than i expected, which is a good thing. The sound is real nice, but the earbuds had one string longer than the other. anyways, its quite easy to use (for me) but if your having trouble, u just might have to figure out the functions on your own because the instruction booklet dosent tell much at all!

This MP3 player is a peice of crap. I thought that I would get a good deal and a cool looking MP3 player, but it ended up sucking. It does not come with downloading software, and when you use the microsoft program for copying music, most songs don't work due to a copy protection. Also, the thing fried and froze up to where I could not even access the main screen in a matter of one hour. This is a horrible buy and a crappy deal.
