Rating: - Good peice of kit
I got this 3 weeks ago and it is good, I watch films when I get the time out and about listen to music always on the go and simple to use.
Only problems it is heavy it is big but the screen is the size of an ipod classic so you know its gonna have to be as well as having a laptop hardrive in it. When the keys are locked the volume isn't so can be annoying. Also I've had a few problems which have been easily fixed but if you get the same heres how to do it.

Rating:  - I think it's great
Very pleased with the 504.
Plays just about everything out of the box - except MP4 & podcast, for which you need to buy codecs from Archos. They're device id specific, so pirate downloads won't work.
Bought it from Pixmania for about £100 less than the going rate, just over a year ago. Pixmania aren't that great at customer service - paid for express delivery, but with their messing about to verify identity, it took nearly 2 weeks to arrive.

I have tried a friends 405 and the hiss is still there but on the AV500 there ... Read More

However good old Amazon sent me a replacement straight away. I cannot knock the product it is really good, however Archos as a company, well they are rubbish, hence only 4 stars.
Rating: - Technology & how to tame it
Have had a 504 for around 10 days now. Had an AV400 prior to this for many years & has given faithful service(& still is working fine but has been seconded by my wife).
The 504 is a clever bit of kit but different in many ways from the 400 series. So knowing how to handle one previously I still had difficulties getting to grips with the features of the 504. The machine has a manual inbuilt but it is a bit of a bind having to go & read what you want to know, exit & try & re ... Read More
