  "Kind of stubborn!"

  by Dylan6758 on July 20, 2008

  Pros: Cheap, no need for a USB Wire, convinient, records voices

  Cons: Can only save about 75 songs, easy to lose, often turns on for a few seconds but just turns off.

  Summary: I don't know what's wrong with this. This happened to me a few months ago, and it's happening again! My batteries were low, so I put in ...

  Summary: I don't know what's wrong with this. This happened to me a few months ago, and it's happening again! My batteries were low, so I put in new ones. Now it just turns on for a few seconds and turns off. I love this chep MP3 player, but it's getting me angry! I don't have any fresh batteries, so once I get more AAAs', maybe it'll work!

  Handy and affordable. ($30 in-store)

  by lonorising on February 19, 2006

  Pros: Very lightweight; easy interface; more features than expected; idiot-proof flash drive.

  Cons: Eats batteries; backlight can't be permanently disabled; USB interface hit or miss on my eMac (OS 10.2.8)

  Summary: MP3s are obscenely priced. They should be free with a box of cereal. But if we are going to let ourselves be robbed... This is a great little unit for ...

  Summary: you get what you pay for, you can load music and change it twice before it quits working. If you find that the screen just flashes when you turn it on that means you might as well dispose of it.

  Summary: My daughter bought one of these with her birthday money and the first one worked for less than an hour before the screen started flashing. The Second one has lasted less than five months and we have the same problem. We put new batteries in the device and try to power it on and the only thing that happens is the COBY screen flashes on and then off again. COBY support says to return it to the retailer and the retailer has a policy of not refunding any MP3 devices. Stay away from companies like COBY who will not stand behind their own products.

  Summary: lack of sorting or selecting music by Author, Album, song or genre and no playlist capability is a real shortfall. Display was ok but only 2 lines. The controls were a bit hard to get used to. Sound was good but a bit low. Price of $30 from Kmart was good.
