Date: Tue, 10 May 2005 13:32:33 -0400 Then with that in mind, where do I go on the net to download actual mp3 files? Most legal sites now only have downloads in the wma format. Or is there a way to convert between the formats?

No, flash chips on =SOME= archos units mean that you can have 4 second boot time, not 15 seconds. >What do you mean the battery connecters are getting looser by default? The battery contacts are the dodgy thing with these units - its not frequent, but it is common - it is also such a trivial job that any (in fairness, sighted) person could do with very very limited knowledge of a soldering iron. >Also, Do the Archos players play formats other than mp3? No. It is theoretically possile - but was never, and is now (given relative obseletion) unlikely ever to be done.
