I've had mine for almost 2 years and have had no problems at all. Kind of hard to believe since it gets tossed around my backpack a lot. I can burn over 100 mp3's to a cd-rw. Great for long road and plane trips. The included headphones are uncomfortable and the search feature is a bit difficult to use, but it sounds good and for the price, nothing beats it. I like it a lot.

I guess the 90-day warranty says it all. My unit performed well for about that period and then gradually got worse.

Now it refuses to play almost any CD I put in it. When it works, it occasionally has highly distorted output, will get confused in the middle of a disc or will just switch off.

It's pretty much unuseable now.

So I go the Coby web page figuring it's still within a year of purchase, only to learn that after three months you're on your own.
