Customer Review: Slick, small and infinitely capable
Summary: 5 Stars
Allow me to explain my experience with this style of MP3 players:
Mac Vision MA833A 128 MB MP3 Player
This was my first MP3 player, the Macvision 256mb. Slick, black and small, this simple little device lasted me three whole years and would still be alive and kicking if I hadn't dropped it off of my rooftop one too many times. A remarkable piece of technology, it simply played MP3's, easily and without fuss. The transfer system was simple and easy to navigate, and the player worked through rain, snow, being stepped upon and drowned in water.
After that finally gave up the ghost, and believe me it took a looong time, I picked up this:Nextar MA933A-B 128 MB Digital MP3 Player (Blue)
The Nextar 512mb 'blue'
This was not up to par with its predecessor, despite being of the same design, just manufactured by a different company, this device was inferior in many ways.
Nextar re-designed the device's program and tranfer capability, forcing you to use Windows Media to sync your files, and they would appear in no particular order, and you had no control over where they ended up in relation to the other files. This MP3 player was definitely not as sturdy as the original, it broke within two weeks after I pressed the play button a tad bit harder than it was apparently made for.
So, frustrated, I bought this:
COBY MP3 Player with 256 MB Flash Memory & USB Drive
Coby had finally gotten the patents to this design, so I hoped things would improve. This little device was certainly a bit hardier than its predecessor, and it survived for some time, but its program was just as frustrating as the last one, once again forcing you to sync with Windows Media and randomizing your files on you. The glass screen was very fragile and broke within the first month I owned it, making it difficult to see the text.
So, finally after putting up with it for a while, I succumbed to trying out yet another of these devices.
I bought this, the Coby C885 1GB MP3 player.
Hallelujah!
This device not only stronger and more durable than the nextar or earlier coby model, also allowed you to return its program to the original Macvision style, allowing me to finally order my files the way I wanted! I have had this now for about three weeks, and it has served me well. The buttons take a little while to adjust to, but after you do, its smooth sailing. Its as if I have my old Macvision back, with an upgrade in style and funcion!
If you're looking for something sleek and simple, without paying out the big bucks go for this!

Description of Coby MP-C885 1 GB Flash MP3 Player with FM Tuner and Direct USB Drive (Black)
Rock and bop to your favorite songs with the help of this teeny tiny MP3 player. Small enough to take anywhere, it comes jam-packed with all the necessary features like an LCD display screen,USB plug (no cables required) and USB 2.0 for ultra-quick file transfers. Includes earphones, USB extension cable, and installation CD. 1GB of built-in memory with the capacity of storing 250 songs (17 hours). Requires 1 "AAA" batteries, included. Measures 3.5" x 1".Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand but loaded with features, the Coby MP-C885 MP3 player lets you listen to your favorite tunes on the bus, at the park, and just about anywhere else. The device measures a mere 3.58 by 1.1 by 0.75 inches (W x H x D), with a removable end cap that reveals a direct USB plug for connecting to a computer (no cable required). More significantly, the MP-C885 offers 1 GB of integrated flash memory, so you can store roughly 16 hours of MP3 music or 32 hours of WMA music--more than enough for a marathon training run or a cross-country flight. And for those occasions when you need to transport data rather than music, the MP- C885 can handle that, too, with the ability to store JPEG photos, text documents, and more. The mobile storage function is ideal for transporting business documents across the country or serving as an overflow backup for your digital camera's memory card.
It's easy to navigate through the audio player's contents thanks to the high-contrast LCD display, which displays the song title and artist information. And as with the best MP3 players, the MP-C885 offers a number of handy extras, such as a built-in digital FM tuner, support for Windows Media DRM-10 online subscription services, ID3 and LRC support for song and synchronized lyric information display, and a high-speed USB 2.0 interface (up to 40x faster than USB 1.0). The MP-C885, which runs on a single AAA battery (included), works with Windows 98 SE, Me, 2000, and XP and Mac OS X operating systems and carries a 90-day warranty.
