Gmini 220 - A nightmare

Date of Review:  Jan 19, 2005
The Bottom Line: Do not buy this product. The company does not support it.
Review: I received this mp3 player as a gift from my wife Christmas of 2004. I debated between this player and the ipod. Eventually, I told her to buy the gmini 220 and she purchased one new off ebay. I regret that decision every day. From day one the unit...

Warning: File Corruption Problems [resolved]

Date of Review:  Aug 24, 2004
The Bottom Line: Assuming the corruption problems are really fixed, I would recommend this device for photo storage.
Review: Updated October 6, 2004! (See bottom of review...)

I purchased a GMini 220 from Buy.com on August 22, 2004. I bought the unit primarily to use for photo storage during an upcoming vacation.

As a test, I took...

The tiniest 20 Gig player yet!

Date of Review:  May 26, 2004
The Bottom Line: In my opinion, it's absolutely the best mp3 player out there with small size, great sound and great price.
Review: After having my Archos 20 Gig Jukebox stolen, I was in desperate need to replace it with a new mp3 player. I absolutely loved the Archos Jukebox - the size was ideal (although thicker than the iPod), using the controls were easy and using it as a...

Solid, albeit non-sexy performer

Date of Review:  Sep 20, 2006
The Bottom Line: Strong performer, although there are prettier and easier players out there. Good cost/benefit ratio.
Review: We purchased the Gmini 220 about 18 months ago to use in our church to capture our sermons. We were initially attracted to this recorder because of its line-in feature and large storage capacity.

When we received the recorder, I was a...

Wonderful ultra small mp3 player / external hard drive!

Date of Review:  May 2, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a ultra small portable hard drive, mp3/wma player, CF card reader, microphone, good quality and affordable price, Gmini 220 is the answer.
Review: After months searching for something else than just a mp3 player I decided that the Gmini 220 was the most suitable for me in terms of features and price.

For a relatively low price you get an external ultra small 20 Gb hard drive, which...

Solid Player......perfect value player

Date of Review:  Jun 22, 2005
The Bottom Line: After hours researching - there is no better 20 GB player out there at $150
Review: I purchased this unit for $149 after rebate and am very happy with it. 18 gig of music downloaded in about 15 minutes. 2 minutes later musicmatch had everything sychronized and ready to rock.

It works as an outstanding external hard drive...

Unit dead/no power/ power supply problem

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2004
The Bottom Line: buyer beware - works well when working but just hope it doesnt break
Review: Ive had my 220 for about 8 months now. About 2 months after i had the exact same intial problem as you. No charge and then one day it just died.
I sent it back for warranty, but was asked by archos to go thru a local retail outlet (local to...

Archos Gmini 220; The good and the bad

Date of Review:  Mar 31, 2004
Review: I bought the Gmini 220 as a bulk data storage unit for coping my Compact Flash cards from my digital camera in the field. To that end, it should be great. Long battery life, small size, light weight, holds 20 gigs of pics which is adequate as the...

Great Media player and File Store

Date of Review:  Aug 12, 2004
The Bottom Line: Buy It! or wait for the new Gmini 400 - which should be similar but have colour screen, play video etc etc. Drool.
Review: I bought this because it combines media file playing capabilities with a good data store, with the advantage of a CF (I and II) slot to dump my camera files while on holiday. I have a Fuji FinePix M603 with a couple of Microdrives. I use the camera...

Many Functions & Small Size

Date of Review:  Apr 27, 2005
The Bottom Line: Recommended for techno-savvy users who are comfortable tweaking software and settings. Lots of features for a low price. Not recommended for average users -it would be frustrating to use.
Review: I bought the Gmini 220 because it combined two devices: MP3 jukebox and photo wallet. Neither of these items on its own compelled me to buy one, but combine the functions into one unit and I jumped on it. A $50 mail in rebate made the price...
