Coby Puts out a Good Product

I received the Coby MP3 as a gift. This is my first MP3 Player and I found it to be everything that I expected.

I primarily use it for music, but I have used the recorder functionality to try it out. The MP3 also contains functionality to store photos, videos, ebooks, and has a programmable FM radio.

The FM radio was easy to program and the sound was surprisingly clear and crisp even with weaker stations. The sound was also great for my downloaded songs and the recording that I made.

After charging the unit, which takes four hours, it was easy to download my songs from the internet using Windows Media Player. I had no problems. The charge is said to last 20 hours, but I found that it must be losing a charge even when it is off. There is not enough documentation to tell me if this is normal.

The ear buds appear to be rather large. I seem to fuss with them a lot because they want to fall out. I would recommend getting a better ear bud.

The storage is spacious - 2 GB.

I do not know if this is normal, but when I am walking in the sun, I cannot see the display. If this is normal, they need to fix this.
