looks great, but didn't work with my computer
(1 out of 5) by Victoria Vaughan on Mar 28, 2008 (Oberlin, OHIO United States)I really liked the idea of this item; as small as a flash drive, big enough capacity for working out or the commute, but when it came time to getting it to work with the new iTunes, no luck. The product *thinks* it works with iTunes but if the computer won't support the product, there's not much you can do about that! Had to send it back.... but I still LIKE the idea. If you're on PC I'm sure it's fabulous.

Not a 1GB MP3 Player
(1 out of 5) by Saravana Kumar on Jan 18, 2008One of my friend got this Coby 1GB MP3 player, the package and the player did say that it is a 1 GB player. But in the system it showed the total capacity as 459 MB. Everyone knows that the capacity displayed is little less but not as much as >500 MB. We tried formatting the drive and making it fresh, but of no use. There are no CDs, softwares, tools provided to diagnose the player. I guess Coby has used some compression to show 512MB as 1GB during Factory Install.
We tried calling up the number in the package which said "Call this Number before considering returning the product" !! The person on the other side could not understand our problem, he kept telling us (threatening) about where we got our MP3s, DRM stuff. CRAZY !! Seems like he was reading from the papers provided to him. Useless Customer Service. They said it, we returned the product that very moment.
Do not buy anything Coby. There are better MP3 players that are worth the buck you pay for.

Great MP3 player
(5 out of 5) by Dennis Adkins Jr. on Oct 18, 2008 (South Carolina)My 13 year old son actually owns this now. I used it a couple days & he took over. It's been a great lil gadget for him.

Wont PLay with USB input Car radios
(1 out of 5) by Wowed on Jun 20, 2008 (USA)I have a couple of stick players and the Coby unit will not operate
in USB input car stereos. Only plays back on computer or headphones.
DO NOT purchase any Coby products if you intend to use them with
car stereos, they are not usable in this manner. Stick with the Creative brand for this purpose, they are trouble free.

player
(1 out of 5) by Christopher L. Carpenter on Jun 7, 2008I'm having trouble with the formatting of music files for the player, most likely the reason is my Operating System is Windows ME.
