Advantages: Really holds all your music

Disadvantages: £300

I have been writing on this site for ages and have never yet recieved any crowns where as other op's that are less informative let's say are getting them but hey that's just me moaning.

I had an old MP3 player which was ok but limited in what I could record onto it and the music on it could only be taken off the net but then I discovered the Archos Jukebox recorder MP3 and have not looked back since.

The MP3 Jukebox recorder is small enough to fit into your hand and can be used for digital and analogue technology and the best thing for me is it can be used to record or play from a normal hi-fi unlike it's ancestors and it is this that makes it so much more than most other MP3 players out there on the market.

You can record onto it CD's,Mini Discs even old vinyl and it can store up to 150 CD's not that I have that much on it yet but if you want to you could almost put your whiole record collection onto it and have it available wherever you go and it really is like walking around with jukebox in your pocket.

The Jukebox allows you to record straight from a hi-fi in MP3 format directly from any audio source,including microphone(great fun),stereo,radio or CD player etc etc.
Up to 500 hours of voice recordings can be stored using the internal microphone great for those with asperations of being a DJ or MC.

And this lot is not all the Jukebox recorder has the added ability to store photo's and stacks apon stacks of other information.
It has a backlit display that provides you with song title,artists name and playing time.
It has an easy to use direct access button to the volume control and a choice of recording control including analogue,digital or microphone as I think I have already said.

To top it all off you can link it up to your in-car entertainment system and access all your music from your car without having a 20,000 CD collection and a boot full of equipment.
This is
a bit steep at £300 but with Christmas just around the corner you never know what you may get if you ask nice enough and it really is worth every penny.
