Subject: Fwd:Jukebox Recorder stops working after 36 hours or so
From: Chris Holt (amiga2k_at_cox.net)
Date: 2003-07-16

Thought you guys might be interested in one of Archos' wonderful tech
support responses.

I pointed the poor soul to the rockbox site and told him that he would
probably have much better luck with it.

> I purchased a Jukebox Recorder to be used with our Music On Hold part
