Updated information, looks like I answered my own question. Take a look
at:
http://bjorn.haxx.se/isd200/
Which is linked off of the Archos technical support page with a link
called "JukeBox Recorder - Linux Driver" :) Its cool to see companies at
least noticing that Linux does exist. Of course you still don't see it
mentioned in product requirements that much.
So this means that the JukeBox Recorder will act just like a USB hard
disk device, so easy transferring of files (not just MP3s).. Kind of
cool! Of course I haven't figured out if I can get one for the US, I see
(EU, AUS, JP and UK) I don't think any of those cover US power supplies?
