   there is no clip.. which would be a lot easier for working out. the sound quality is bad. it's nice that there is a radio and it automatically sets the presets, but still, the sound quality is bad and i even used sony walkman earphones. the ipod is Much better. the only good thing about this is that u can just plug it to the computer w/o using wires, it's small, has a radio, and it has a display for such a tiny mp3 player. however, i would not buy this again, i'm thinking about getting the ipod nano or shuffle because i just need to be able to clip it to my shirt or pants when i work out.

   Hi Everyone, Please do not waste your money with this unit. I was taken with this unit when I first got it. Looked cool, good capabilities, and good memory were all of the positives I saw in it. The problem is that the unit will not hold a charge. Many, Many of us are having this same problem and I have to think that Coby knows about this issue. I returned my first one and got another with exactly the same problem. The internet has many posts from people looking for answers to this problem as well. Not worth one cent if it does not work.

   i got a free coby mp3 player as a gift. wow i have never seen a product as bad as this one. first of the product actually looks cool and that's the only plus point. the headphones they supply with the unit look like little hammers i didn't even put it on my ears. the menu system and navigation is frustrating at best. the touch interface is more like a tap interface. the screen and gui are horrible at best and don't worry about video or pictures coz you won't be able to enjoy them. another problem is static electricity, this unit hates static and i am not talking about the amount of static that u can feel (any mp3 player is not good with that amount of static) but even tiny amount of static that you can't even feel will turn this thing off. then you have to wait another 15 minutes before it turns back on. i think it has something to do with it's metal back it is a very good conductor. i tried taking it to the gym; big mistake. it kept shutting off and i had to reset the thing so many times that i ended up carrying a safety pin with me so i could reset it. about the battery life; it wouldn't even last a day. so finally after a week the on/off button gave away and i couldn't use this bugger anymore. don't accept this thing even if it's a gift, the frustration and mental trauma is not worth it........ PS. I forgot to add one more thing the screen. seems like the people at coby live and work in complete darkness, because it is impossible i say again IMPOSSIBLE to see anything on the screen in daylight. i had to memorize the folder list and it was kinda fun navigating from my mental image. it's a brain teaser..

   I recieved this player when I joined a travel club as a free gift, so I really can't complain about it. HOwever I did have to recieve another one because after a month or so, the power button broke and I couldn't turn it on manually. I could only listen to it in my car. But it is a good little player, I'm just a little more careful with my new one. Also it holds a decent number of songs, I don't put any videos on it because why go blind trying to strain your eyes watching that little screen, I use it just for music. The one big criticism I do have is the ear plugs are HUGE, I've never met anyone who can fit those enormous things in their ears. I did have to by a different pair, but it wasn't that bad, still has great sound.
