I currently own an Archos XS202 music jukebox player. Previously I have used a Zen Micro jukebox which was faulty several times (but thats another story) and an iPod mini which sadly I lost. My Archos is my personal favourite MP3 player I have owned for a few reasons namely size and its folder capability.
When I owned my first MP3 player the iPod mini which I was very happy with (up until the point I lost it) I was forced into using the iTunes software to handle my music. This meant that when I upgraded to the Zen Micro I was in a sticky situation how did I get my music across unfortunately for me I decided to use windows media player which was painfully slow at transferring and didnt really integrate with the player well at all. So when I got rid of that and got my nice new XS202 I went back to using iTunes to handle my files at least.
The first thing I did to make adding music easier was to set up a smArt playlist which allowed me to see the latest files I had added to my collection. The rule I used to create it was Date added is in the last 2 weeks and I checked the box which said live updating.
Now this shows me the latest songs I have added to my library. When I first updated my XS202 I went into the folder which I store all my MP3 files in and then copied the file structure however now if I just want to quickly add a few songs a little know trick is that you can actually right click the file in iTunes go to copy and then simply paste it onto your jukebox this with the automatically updating playlist means I can update the library on my Archos in minutes with my latest tunes.
