Customer Review: Good Job Coby
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this a few days ago, and its been awesome. I'm gonna go through some features then advice:
pros---1.only 4Gb player less thatn $30 that I've ever seen
2.looks sleek
3. plays very fast; my brother has a $100 rca opal that takes literally 5 minutes to "build database" every time it is turned on, but this player takes about 2 seconds.
4. I got a 50 songs and 1 audiobook free from Coby, and another 50 from Amazon
5. The earphones do sound just a little tinny, but overall they're great. They fall out my ears, but all earphones fall out of my ears so that might just be something that has to do with me.
6. Comes with a 3-foot-long usb extension cable, a battery that's lasted about 8 hours, and the earphones as I said earlier
7. The sound quality is GREAT: even on low volume I can distinctively hear the music with no distortion whatsoever
8. The radio is great, I even pick up stations that I didn't know were there, 18 in total, and they sound CRYSTAL CLEAR. I live in houston btw
9. I got free shipping, and it only took 2 days to get here instead of the estimated 4 days.
10. It holds 1000 mp3s at the standard 128kbps and 2000 wmas at 64kbps
11. It doubles as a flash drive
12. It syncs about 20 songs/minute
cons--
1. Although its cleverly designed visually, the box is annoying to open
2. If you just sync it with your library on Windows Media Player, it arranges the folders according to artist, then album and likes to group the artist's songs together; there's no real order Also, the artists aren't even in alphabetical order so its very hard to navigate.
3. Battery life is relatively low-8 hours.
Overall, this thing is excellent in general, especially for $30. When you add music, I recommend that you open the folder where your songs are, make some folders by genre and artist on your mp3 player, and then just transfer the songs that way. Be careful because after you transfer the files you can't put it in alphabetical order so do that first. Hold "shift" or "ctrl" to select multiple files at a time.
