It works great & is fantastic. 100 times better compared to the older Archos interface. I think that Archos interface might of been a contributing factor to as to why I didn't really pursue this problem 2+ yrs ago.

You do know that the original Archos interface is why rockbox exists, right ? :)

I currently have them charging in their own charger. I have read that this unit can recharge them though. Is this correct & is it safe to do so? I ask cause I don't want to use the unit to recharge and risk damaging the batteries or even worse, damagng the Archos Recorder unit.

From what I know, that's safe.

Hmm, I did not know that the original Archos I have was the reason Rockbox exists. Interesting. I can see why cause that Archos Recorder interface was down right AWFUL & pathetic. I have Rockbox installed on a Sansa e250 as well and love it on that thing, but the Sansa interface was not as bad as this Archos was.
Another quick question too. Does the Rockbox interface by chance allow the unit to be somehow recharged through the USB cable like my Sansa originally does or is that a feature that can't be supported no matter what interface is on the unit? I didn't see anything about this in the manual, but maybe its a different matter not covered there. Or am I getting my hopes up too high :D
