Default Memory Card Readers for hard drive MP3 players?

Hi, I am trying to find (assuming it exists) a memory card reader that
would work with Hard drive MP3 players like archos jukbox 20 has. I
realize there are many different players out there but I thought there
might be some sort of device that would fit some MP3 Players (I am
thinking of iriver's ihp-120).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

AFAIK there are no readers that are universal and no MP3 players capable of
driving standard USB readers. For now you'll have to stick with a player
that has a card slot built in or an iPod, for which you can buy an accessory
card reader from Belkin, although from what I've read it's quite slow.

And USB devices need USB host like computer to transfer date, Firewire =
(ie iPod, Creative Firewre Jukebox) dont need host to transfer data. You =
might wanna try Pocket PC with CF slow that has USB hosting capability =
like Toshiba e750/e755/e805.

There's no memory card in an Archos Jukebox. Therefore, you have nothing
from it that you can plug into a memory card reader. This is actually good
news, see below.

The hard drive players I'm familiar with all come with USB and/or Firewire
drivers. With these drivers, you can access the hard drive in the player as
if it was a big memory card already sitting in a virtual memory card reader.
IMO this is even better than what you are looking for.

AFAIK, both the Archos and the IRiver IHP-120 jukeboxes work with the WinXP
default driver, which means that you can load whatever specialized drivers
and utilities you need from the jukebox itself. IOW you just plug one of
these into a USB cable on a XP PC, XP loads the required driver on-the-fly
from its own driver library, and suddenly "My Computer" shows a new
removable storage device that you can browse with the windows explorer or
other program that browses files.

If you have Win98SE, you will probably need some specialized software that
works with whatever you have on hand to access.

The Nomad Jukeboxes have a downloadable file transfer utility that fits on a
floppy to perform a similar function for SE, ME or XP, but its more like a
do-it-yourself kit. It's downloadable from the Nomad site.

At least on paper, the IHP-120 seems like the product to beat, but it ain't
cheap!

MSRP, its always $399.98/$399.97. Even Amazon today advertise iPod at =

Hmmm, so there is no way to transfer things like pictures from a flash
mem card to the iHP-120? Oh well, thanks for all the help.

Cheers
