Archos 1 Vision - The Full Review
This page talks about Archos MP3 players and particularly looks at the Archos 1 Vision. It has ideas for how to locate the right MP3 player for you. After reading through it, you will be equipped to make a much far more prepared, qualified purchasing evaluation.
Archos 1 vision is the first in Archos' lineup of color-screen MP3/MP4 players. Staying true to Archos' dedication to sleek,
attractive design, Archos 1 vision is small; you can hide it with a credit card. It's light, too; no heavier than a pack of breath mints. What follows is a review of the Archos 1 vision so you can make an educated, informed purchasing decision.
The Archos 1 vision is more than just an attractive design with a visual interface; it's packed with features. It has a built-in audio recorder so you can record voice memos for later. I absolutely LOVE this feature because I have a lot of ideas but never seem to have anything with which to write them down! Students might also find this feature useful for recording class lectures (or staying home "sick" and letting your classmate record it!). Business professionals can use it to record meetings for review later. Or if you meet a pretty lady while going for a jog and realize you've forgotten your phone, you can simply record her phone number. There are so many uses for this feature, it really adds a lot of value to the Archos 1 vision.
It's also able to not only playback music files in multiple formats (MP3, WMA, FLAC, APE, WAV), and allows you to store and view photos and image files; an extraordinary feature for such a compact device. Images are able to be displayed as long as they are saved in .jpeg or.bmp format, which covers the vast majority of images you'll be dealing with.
Aside from its multimedia playback capabilities, it really packs a ton of storage space in such a small area. With 4GB of capacity, you can store between 1,500 and 2,000 songs. 4 GB is enough for tens of thousands of images. And it'll keep you going with 21 hours of continuous battery life, which is really remarkable for such a small MP3 player.
The high-quality, detailed 1.5? color TFT screen displays a menu system which is simple and intuitive. Your music library can be sorted by artist, album, or song title so you can easily find whatever song you're looking for, or queue up a complete album if you're in the mood.
You connect the Archos 1 vision to your PC with a simple USB 2.0 connector. It has a drag-and-drop interface which is really as easy as it gets. Archos has really done a great job on making the system intuitive.
In conclusion, I highly recommend the Archos 1 vision. It's the perfect combination of sound quality, size, price, and features for an MP3 player.
