The perfect companion for everything from long trips to short bus rides, from going to parties to just hanging out around the house, the Archos 104 lets you not only take your favorite moments with you, but helps you make new favorite moments wherever you happen to be.

Of course, the main purpose of the Archos 104 is to play music. Because it has a real hard disk inside of it with four gigabytes of memory, you can store up to 2,000 songs in WMA format at 64kbps, or up to 1,000 songs in higher quality MP3 format at 128kbps. This unit comes able to play not just MP3 and WMA files, but protected WMA files, and even uncompressed WAV files at full CD quality. You can even play iTunes on your Archos 104 by downloading the proper update from the Archos website, and as new audio formats are created, future updates will also be made available on the manufacturer's website so your Archos will continue to support the newest and best audio formats. Using a standard audio cable, you can also play your music through a home entertainment system, allowing you to bring your entire CD collection with you anywhere, and play it over anyone's sound system.

Putting music on your Archos 104 is as easy as dragging and dropping any of your unprotected music files. For protected, purchased music from PlaysForSure web sites, it's as easy as clicking the Sync button in Windows Media Player. With its USB 2.0 high speed port, transfers are finished before you know it, and the internal battery gets recharged at the same time. The Archos 104 is also ID3 compatible, meaning that the ARCLibrary will sort your music so that you can listen to it by artist, album, title, year, or genre, or just click on shuffle and listen to your music at random. The ID3 tagging also lets you view the CD jacket cover for any of your music while you are listening to it.

With your Archos 104 you can also store and view up to 40,000 photos in JPEG2 or VGA format on the built-in, 1.5-inch OLED color display screen. The use of OLED (organic liquid-crystal display) technology with its smaller carbon-based molecules, creates a screen that is brighter, thinner, lighter, and faster than normal LCD displays, providing you with not only a smaller player, but a screen that is more easily viewed in bright lighting conditions, and at greater angles. All you need to do is transfer pictures from your computer to your Archos 104, and you'll be able to easily look at them in high quality, wherever you are.
