Digital camera reviews of Coby MP-C885 1 GB Flash MP3 Player with FM Tuner and Direct USB Drive (Black)
Digital camera Review: DO NOT BUY!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I have never posted a review of an item on Amazon before, but I felt it necessary to warn people away from this. I read many negative reviews of this mp3 player, but I thought it was only $15, so I would try it. I now have had it for 3 weeks and it has worked about twice. I wanted it for my runs and bike rides, but it consistently does not turn on. This piece of junk sucks. Don't buy it.Digital camera Review: Difficult to navigate

I liked the compact size, easy download capability, the 2G memory and the price however it was difficult to store and then retrieve the files once they were on the device. Obvious you lose some functionality when you pay less than $30 for a storage device. All the files need to be set up before you download the them, i.e. playlists, favorites, etc. becuase once the items are stored it is not 'one button' friendly to scroll through the stored files. I have a Toshiba Gigabeat and love the ease of use, simple buttons located conveniently when walking or running and even driving. I bought the Coby as a gift for my sweetie who is a runner. I know we will be replacing the Coby for a device that is easy to use in the near future and use this as a data memory stick only and not for music. If you don't mind spending hours trying to figure this out and don't want to scroll through music files while being active, it would be a great buy. Also, managing your files requires you to have ready access to a computer since you can't sort once files are stored on the device.Digital camera Review: Don't Buy It

It didn't work out of the box. It looks poorly constructed, so I didn't even ask for an exchange.Digital camera Review: Easy player to use

We bought this for my 7 year old son who wanted an "IPOD". The price was perfect, and the ease of putting music on it is great. My son, who knows computers better than I, can put his own music on to the player!Digital camera Review: Enjoying it throroughly!!

I have had my player for about a month now, I love it. It takes about 6-8 seconds for it to turn on (not a minute as previously noted)and it plays quality sound. I feel like you will be amazed at how well this player plays music, I know I was! If you find it at a decent price (about $30-$35), I would go ahead and purchase one. After all what have you got to loose. The only problem I had with mine was initially getting the music on it, I had never owned a mp3 player before so I had to learn how it all worked, but if you follow the instructions carefully you shouldn't have a problem.
