When it come to portable audio players , the difference between Apple and Archos is sort of like the difference between OSX and Linux . Both are muscular , but one pelt or strips out its less - used features for the sake of approachability , while the other just lets it all fall out , even when it might make the initial experience a snatch more puzzling . I ’m a Brobdingnagian lover of products from both companies , though , and this positively charged review of the Archos Gmini XS 200 just reinforce it — a 20 GB player for the same price as a 5 GB histrion from almost any other company , with a decently sinewy but somewhat perplexing user interface . The Archos Gmini series are the only medicine players I recommend to people besides Apple ’s ( with a passing grade of the Creative Zen Micro if people have a hard - on for it ) , but only if they ’re unforced to deal with a slightly fussier interface .
