Okay. If you'll remember, when you annouced you got it, jaguar was like "haha, get an iPod, suck0r!" and I was like "dude, it's cool, whatever floats your boat."
But this is one area where I can honestly say that the iPod blows everything else out of the water. I regularly navigate through about 4,000 songs on my iPod and <b>it's a piece of cake</b>. Good lord is the interface awesome. The scroll wheel, which isn't actually comprised of any moving parts (i.e., it's touch sensitive) allows you to accelerate down the list, so you can scroll from the top song to the bottom song in three seconds. The faster you scroll, the faster it accelerates, so if you only wanna go half-way down, it's all good. You can very simply sort by artist, album, song name, most recently listened to, most listened to, favorite songs (based upon ratings), etc. If you had one, you'd be rabidly in love with it.
So, I'm not here trying to sell the iPod. If you're happy with your Archos, then there's really no reason to change. But what I am saying is that with the iPod, you can have your cake and eat it too. That's why it's the most popular portable music player.
