Hi, Aditya and list: The whirring hard drive on the Archose juekbox has always been an issue with me. I agree that you need an external mike, and I also think it helps to make sure your Archose is well charged up when you start to record. For whatever odd reason, my experience has been that the lower the charge, the louder that annoying whir gets! Smile.

  You will need an external microphone for this.
  It will need to be a powered mic, usually by battery.

  Hi all,
  I am trying to do some recordings of lectures with my Archos Jukebox. The
  quality of the internal mic is acceptable for me, however the sound of the
  whirring hard drive is not. Is there some way to block out that sound?

  Thanks...
  Deech
