The Archos Gmini XS202 is an excellent device that has a wonderful hard-drive music player with a 20GB memory. It could be used for transferring data and also for listening to music. It is available in a compact size that makes it portable and also easy to use. It supports protected WMA files and it has a long lasting battery life and is available at an economical price. The Archos Gmini XS202 can be bought by just about anyone as its prices are very attractive. The set measures 59 x 19 x 76mm and weighs about 120 grams and it has an elegant appearance. The Archos Gmini XS202 comes with an LCD display screen, which is large enough measuring almost 2 inches diagonally along with an outstanding contrast and a blue backlighting. The LCD screen displays the name of the artist, song, album and even the next song to be scheduled for display. Apart from this, it also shows the time remaining, elapsed time, total length of the song and also a progress gauge. It also has an easy to follow menu.

A joystick that comes with it helps in browsing and selecting the songs, artists, title, genre, play list or even the year. You can even listen to songs downloaded from off the Internet. It is best heard while using headphones as that seems to bring out the best sound clarity. The battery life is remarkable with 25.3 hours of support. The major drawback is that it lacks FM radio and even a voice recorder, which is mostly seen in all other models. Moreover, its appearance may look a little drab to some. The Archos Gmini XS202 is best for those who are looking out for a high-capacity music player, which has an unexpectedly long battery life and is available at a decent price.
