Coby MP-C885 1 GB Flash MP3 Player with FM Tuner and Direct USB Drive (Black)

I love this thing! I put music on it, haven't used it for data files as yet, but I like the idea of being able to combine the two. It plays well, and is easy to operate and to load music onto.

This is a great little product for the price. It has an FM radio reciever as well s the mp3/WMA player. Most IPods will not play WMA files so in my opinion this is better than an IPod. It also records voice and stores data files.
Now if you are looking for all kinds of bells & whistles go with the Ipod but if not you can get a good buy for the money with this product.

This was a very cheap product (cheap in price). Quality was great. I use it all the time. I switch from mp3 to radio a lot when I get bored listening to my own playlist. I was very surprised how many features it really had. Overall good experience. Delivery was ok for me.

First couple of days I was pleased with this player and the ability to be a thumb drive. But then it stopped playing entire songs and when downloaded to it would "lose" half of the book I wanted to listen to. I have since returned this item and purchased a Sansa an love it.

One of my friend got this Coby 1GB MP3 player, the package and the player did say that it is a 1 GB player. But in the system it showed the total capacity as 459 MB. Everyone knows that the capacity displayed is little less but not as much as >500 MB. We tried formatting the drive and making it fresh, but of no use. There are no CDs, softwares, tools provided to diagnose the player. I guess Coby has used some compression to show 512MB as 1GB during Factory Install.

We tried calling up the number in the package which said "Call this Number before considering returning the product" !! The person on the other side could not understand our problem, he kept telling us (threatening) about where we got our MP3s, DRM stuff. CRAZY !! Seems like he was reading from the papers provided to him. Useless Customer Service. They said it, we returned the product that very moment.

Do not buy anything Coby. There are better MP3 players that are worth the buck you pay for.
