Back from the dead. We were originally told that this product was being withdrawn last year, and for months we could not get any stock. Now the best seller of 2002 is available again. This Archos Jukebox Recorder 20 has 20GB (20000MB) of space on which you can store music or other files. This is enough space to store up to 333Hrs of music (MP3s encoded at 128Kbps).

This model does everything the Archos Studio 20 could do, plus record MP3s in real-time. In fact it combines the functionality of the Archos Recorder (10GB and discontinued) with the sheer volume of the Studio 20's capacity.

There is a line-in stereo minijack which give this model (aptly named the 'Jukebox Recorder 20') the ability to record from any appropriately sized analogue source in real time such as a pre amped microphone.

The Archos Jukebox Recorder 20 can record directly to MP3 from an input source. Creative D.A.P.s, for all their special sound effects, cannot do this. Creative models must record to WAV first (see general Creative notes for more details). Anyone who owns an Archos Jukebox Recorder 20 can make an MP3 on the spot, no matter how far away they are from their computer.
