I bought the older Archos Jukebox. It has a 20GB hard drive and is usable as a USB drive. It comes with a license for up to version 7.5 of Musicmatch.

It took me about 10 minutes per album to rip my 250 CD collection to use up 9GB of the jukebox. The software was %99 effective. There were less than 10 songs which the software kept trying to split into multiple songs.

Other than that, I am happy, since I can now take my entire collection with me in my pocket.

Of course, searching and editing playlists is much easier on the PC. No matter how well you try to organize it, navigating through 2000+ songs on a jukebox device is a pain.

BTW, I wish to remind everyone that this is a FAIR USE of my CD collection.
