 Great little MP3 player and more! July 11, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have had my Coby MP3 player for about a month now and it worked it great from the start. Read the user manual from cover to cover and couldn't believe how easy it was to use. This player also comes with a USB cable (even though you can insert the player directly into a USB port for direct transfer), a AAA battery, and ear bud headphones. You can also store all kinds of files (Word, Excel, JPEG, etc). A great value! I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another Coby product in the future.
 Got a defective unit July 4, 2008
I had high hopes for this player, but there were some major defects in the unit I received, enough to return the item to Amazon.
- After loading it with some songs, any subsequent plugging into my computer would only show some, not all, of the files I knew were in there. Eventually, I found that I had to copy another file into the player in order to make the "hidden" files appear.
- Trying to put a large file or files (~400MB or so) into the player caused an error window to pop up. I tend to listen to podcasts in batches on the weekends or want to replace a big chunk of music all at once, so having to drag the files over in parts was also annoying.
Smaller problems:
- Font type is some kind of long, skinny serif. Doesn't match the nicer font in the listing image.
- There are, if I remember correctly, seven LED backlight colors, but ONLY the blue is attractive and allows the LED font to be most clearly legible. The rest of the colors (red, green, orange and some others) make the text hard to read.
- Build quality is not particularly good. The plastic itself seems sturdy, but shell and covers are somewhat ill-fitting.
- Sound quality is simply okay, nothing more.
This player has 2GB flash memory, but no FM radio or microphone, so overall, the current price (~$30) represents fair but not spectacular value--if you have a properly working unit.

MY COBY MP3 IS VERY NICE ITS THE FIRST MP3 THAT IVE BOUGHT AND I'M GLAD THAT I DID. I LOVE THAT ITS SMALL AND FITS ANYWHERE WHEN I'M WALKING. THE MUSIC IVE DOWNLOADED ON IT WAS REALLY EASY TO DO. AND I LOVE THAT IT WILL HOLD 1000 SONGS ON IT. I HAVE A QUESTION. IF I DOWNLOAD SONGS THAT ARE QUITE LONG LIKE 10 MINUTES OR LONGER WILL IT HOLD LESS SONGS? THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL PRODUCT

Bought this for Mom. It has a couple cool features like changing the backlight color, some adjustments to sound and such.
It is pretty easy to hear, although the buttons are somewhat small for people who might have difficulty with small buttons.
Mom has had no complaints yet, and apparently Dad and my Aunt want one now as well.
Pretty good for the price. I don't know how well it will stand the test of time, but it's pretty good to have a display and fit a good number of songs for 25$.
Also, I think it plays WMAs as well...hmm...

I've had no problems with this since purchasing it about a week ago. It gets good battery life and the sound quality is fine. The display is also very easy to read.
