What portable music player do you own?

The Archos comes with a program that converts all types of video to MPEG-4.

The battery lasted around 8 hours with the screen at it's lowest brightness and set to go blank after like 5 seconds of no input. With it set to always stay on, I'm sure it'd last around 4 hours or more.

The reason the battery doesn't hold a charge is my fault. I would leave it plugged in while not using it, and attached to my computer all the time, and now it's gotten to the point where it doesn't hold a charge more than 5 minutes. The battery on it isn't user replaceable but it looks like you can open it up with a torx wrench so maybe you can get at it.

Overall, I like it. It's a little bigger than an iPod or Creative Zen or other popular players, but it's worked great for me.

I own an iPod, a 20GB 4G model. It can take what you dish out--I went from Columbia to Orlando and parts of Robot Rodeo on one charge. (Granted, I did juice it up at George's before I left to return to Columbia.)

It does get some superficial scratches, yes. And those are annoying as heck. But if you shell out fifteen or twenty bucks for a skin, you don't see them anymore.

Get one. You won't regret it.

I just bought another Rio Karma. My first one broke after a year, but I was really hard on it so it probably was my fault. I like the karma because as I said I don't take as good care of it as I should and I feel that an ipod is too nice and delicate and basically don't trust myself with it. I also think its pretty easy to use.

I have a 40GB 3rd Generation iPod (the one beforethe click-wheel). I love it .. although its too small for my music collection.
