Customer Review: COBY MP3 Player - Reliable With Many Features
Summary: 5 Stars
The COBY name is a much overlooked product brand.
I own several MP3 players and this is one of the best and here's why:
The Pros -
- This player has a very small profile and is quite rugged in construction.
- Reliable. I've used mine for two years without a problem.
- Built in USB plug; no USB extension cord to fool with.
- No special software required. This is recognized like a standard flash drive and you can store other things in addition to MP3 sound tracks. This is a real plus!
- Built in FM radio receiver.
- Uses one standard AAA battery, or if you prefer, use a rechargeable AAA; unlike most current players that use built in proprietary batteries which make you wait for the thing to charge up before you can use it. Other reviewers may have noted a shorter battery life with this player. But that's not a problem - Remember - This uses a standard inexpensive battery.
- You're provided with a choice of several nice display background colors which can be set to stay lit or disabled to save battery life.
- Produces considerably more volume than most other players.
- Sound quality from treble to bass is excellent.
- Transferring files is a snap. Simply drag and drop MP3 tracks into a folder you make, and name of your choice, or you can drag a whole folder of tracks into the player. It's that simple.
Just make sure You Don't delete the pre-installed folders and software that is on the player. These are required to make this device function properly.
Cons -
- There are many features built into this player and I had to spend some time to figure out how to navigate through them as the instruction booklet is not quite descriptive enough. However it's worth the little effort required. Unlike most people, I strip the the ID3 tags off my tracks, and rename and number them in order and place them in folders by category.
In these economically troubled times; if your on a shoestring budget and your wanting a little enjoyable entertainment to brighten up your life; combine this COBY player with the JVC HAS150P Folding Headphones with Ipod - Matching Colors (Pink). For my review of the JVC headphones check on 'See all my reviews'.

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.
