Hi Linus, here are some of my reasons:
One of the reason why the jukebox is so great is that it frees my the mp3 from
my PC. I can bring a jukebox anywhere and hook it up to existing stereo systems
and have great music (and also great background entertainment)
Another reason is power consumption. The Archos draws much less power than
a PC running all the time. I also have no PC in the rooms where I need background
music.
The most important reason is that I currently do over 90% of my mp3 listening
on the jukebox with RockBox. That's why I like to be as much pc-independent as
possible.
Regards
Martin
