Jukebox Multimedia

The Jukebox Multimedia was one of Archos' first ever multimedia players that enabled users to record straight from a camera attachment. Also featuring an audio player, an image viewer and video player, as well as the correct cables supplied straight from the box.

The player also has the ability to record audio from a line-in source (cables supplied) straight into MP3 format. The player features a 10 GB Hard Disk Drive (Jukebox 10) or 20 GB (Jukebox 20) and uses DivX MPEG4 format for video recording and playback.

The player uses USB 2.0 technology, to ensure quick transfers of files and data, and is recognized as a USB mass storage device.

This player was released on Friday July 5, 2002, and weighs 290 g.

Portable Audio

Jukebox 6000

The Archos Jukebox 6000 was one of Archos' very first portable media players. Containing a 6 GB hard drive, this was one of the first of its kind. This player is only MP3 compatible, and was bundled with Musicmatch Jukebox to allow users to rip their music collection onto the jukebox.

This was one of the first Hard Disk-based portable audio players, and at the time was relatively expensive. The robust and chunky design did somewhat hinder its portability but due to the large disk capacity, the Jukebox proved to be popular.

The player came in metallic silver and metallic blue, and was known for the large blue bumpers on its corners. This device also has a 1-bit charcell LCD screen with two lights above showing power and HDD activity. Also, like Archos' other products, this is also connectible to a hifi with its line out source, which was ideal for portable DJs.

The Jukebox 6000, and it's successor the Jukebox Studio (see below), used standard USB 1.1 technology, transferring data at a maximum rate of 1 MB per second. These models transfer data at a comparably slow rate compared with succeeding Archos devices using the USB 2.0 standard.

This device was released Saturday, December 9, 2000 and discontinued as of Friday, May 16, 2003. It weighs 350 g.

The Jukebox is historically notable for shipping with a user interface and operating system so unfriendly and bug-ridden as to inspire Björn Stenberg and other programmers to begin to develop a superior, free and open-source replacement operating system. This project became Rockbox.
