Advantages: FLAC support, great price, extras Disadvantages: poor display
Since the release of the first iPod, Apple dominated the MP3-players market. It was time for someone to do something against "the white domination". iRiver, a Korean company entered the market with a precise target: to make mp3-players as good as possible.
In spring 2008, they released the E100, a full-featured, low-priced PMP.

There is no easy sync like on Ipod but many find it easier to drag and drop songs that they want onto the mp3 rather than the problem that occurs when and Ipod can randomly start syncing with the wrong music!
This product is very thin and lightweight as well so you will hardly notice it in your pocket. It also supports ...

- Introduction - > At the beginning
Archos was an established company in 1988. A storage data 'niche' was found in the market; by which they explored with different types of data components. It wasn't too long when Archos got into portable media players (PMP) and specialised in storage data for entertainment in audio and video. In October 2005, Archos launched the MP3 player 'Archos Gmini XS100' series; which is a portable MP3 Player (very similar to an ipod) without the (UI) User Interface facilities, (Touchscreen) like many other Archos products specialise in.
