This mp3 player is awesome. I can't believe how great it is for the price. My daughter had a shuffle but wanted an ipod with a screen. I wasn't about to spend a ton of money on a ten yr old so I bought this instead. GREAT deal! The arrows light up and you can view the picture sideways as well.

It wouldn't be fair to compare this to an iPod, that would be like comparing a Saturn to a BMW. Compared to other budget MP3 players, this is a decent product. It's small, sexy, and the touch pad is very nice. The screen is clear and large enough to comfortably navigate the menu. It plays MP3, OGG, and WMA formats, which is always good, and it has video and picture capabilities. I personally don't care to watch videos or view pictures on a 2" screen, but some people may like to. And it offers playlists and "drag and drop". You can also sync with windows media player, which is what I prefer.

It has it's negatives though, and there are a few. It's 11 hour battery life just doesn't cut it for me. If you want to fill this up with music, be prepared for some constant frustration as the scrolling speed in the music menu is ridiculously slow, so I have to rely on playlists. You have to have at least Window Media Player 10 to use this. The instructions say you need WMP11, but I get by using WMP10. if you don't have it, your computer will not recognize the device correctly. The packaged headphones are garbage, but then again, the headphones every iPod comes with are garbage as well. Another big negative is the lack of support for AAC format(M4A in iTunes), which is a compressed music file, and very handy for conserving space.

If you're on a very tight budget, or you just don't intend to use it very much, this may work for you. But if you're serious about your music and you can afford it, I say get an iPod. This MP3/4 player is good for a tight budget, but you get what you pay for.

Great!! Buy Not really a fan of China But Love the Sleak Look of this Product I had the Pro-bis Model which Got wet in the rain and not Funtioning any more.. But this Coby Design is Real Great "Chrome Metal Bottom" under it which is very Strong Built, and the TouchPad control's Responds with Out Delay!!!!!

Like the player. Recieved the product promptly. Wish the company could figure out a good, easy way to advance to the next song or album without having to use the touch buttons. Do not like the earbuds.

The mp3 player is great!.It's not expensive compared to other mp3 players.Can store lots of songs and comes with earbuds!.
