Amazon.com Product Description
Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand but loaded with features, the Coby MP-C886 MP3 player lets you listen to your favorite tunes on the bus, at the park, and just about anywhere else. The device measures a mere 3.58 by 1.1 by 0.75 inches (W x H x D), with a removable end cap that reveals a direct USB plug for connecting to a computer (no cable required). More significantly, the MP-C886 offers 1 GB of integrated flash memory, so you can store roughly 16 hours of MP3 music or 32 hours of WMA music--more than enough for a marathon training run or a cross-country flight. And for those occasions when you need to transport data rather than music, the MP- C886 can handle that, too, with the ability to store JPEG photos, text documents, and more. The mobile storage function is ideal for transporting business documents across the country or serving as an overflow backup for your digital camera's memory card.
It's easy to navigate through the audio player's contents thanks to the high-contrast LCD display, which displays the song title and artist information.

What you save in price you make up for in battery cost.......2007-12-11
I bought this, this because I really didn't need an mp3 player since I listen to the radio in the morning and late afternoons but the price was right. I lie to you not, I have to put a new battery in this thing everyday if not every 1.5 days. The cost adds up to the same as a an ipod after battery costs. If you don't listen to your mp3 player everyday then this is the player for you.
Cheap price for a cheap item.......2007-12-01
You get what you pay for. Battery life is very low (about one hour max. of continuous play). With more than about 75 MP3's loaded, the player seems to get "confused" and cannot find all files. I think it has something to do with the way the memory organizes the files into subfolders (artist and album). If you navigate through the folders, you can find all of the loaded MP3's but if you're just wanting to turn on the player and go, you might find a big portion of your music unavailable. For example, the first time I loaded up with MP3 music files, I added 120 files. However when I turned on the player, it only showed that I had 70-some files. I deleted a few files from the player and then it showed I had 80-some files???? Very strange. I decided to test it by loading up the MP3 files into the root folder on the player using Windows Explorer. This helped but didn't totally fix the problem. (Loaded up 120 files and now it's showing 107...) My wife purchased a Sansa M240 for about the same price and it is MUCH better.
Good Produc For The Price!.......2007-11-21
This product is very solid for the price! Easy to download music too and easy to use. I like this model because it has better use buttons. Older models had trouble with buttons sticking. Solid choice for this price! Easy to operate and understand. Only drawback is I am a heavy user and wear them out fairly quickly but for the money I simply keep a spare on hand! Can't beat this product for the low price!
5 star excellent.......2007-11-11
i read others reviews and took a chance on this item. i'm not disappointed at all. this player works just great for me, although you must follow the instructions close. the only problem i have is when my cat chewed on the usb cable and i now have to hold my mouth just right.
my wife also has a coby (a higher grade) but she has no problems with hers.
feel safe with this item and enjoy..
Cheap.......2007-10-18
Although this item is priced right, I found it to be cheap. It didn't work with my computer so be careful when buying this item. I purchased a Sansadisk MP3 player after returning this one and it is wonderful.

Good for the money, but,,,.......2007-12-30
The gadget itself is pretty impressive. One-thumb controls allow you to change volume and songs in a breeze. A digital FM tuner and an autosearch function along with the ability to save stations makes the radio a real luxury. Play modes include no repeat, one, all, random all, dir repeat, dir all repeat, dir random all and intro. The LCD display has seven selectable colors and even a set to where the color will change with every key press. One reviewer wrote that the mp3 player doesn't contenue where you left off when you turn it off. It does! In fact, it brings you down to the same second that the mp3 player was turned off. The equilizer allows you to add a little pop, rock, classic, jazz and bass to your music. Although I never used the recorder much, it works well espcecially because you can set up the quality of the recordings. The sound quality of the player is pretty good because the instruments have a solid and supreme tone. For the most part, this mp3 player performs like one twice its cost.
But there are a few bad things about this mp3 player. First of all, the battery life of the mp3 player is supposably fifth-teen hours. But a regular alkaline battery only seems to last for maybe five hours then it's dead. It says in the manuel on page 15 that the player can also be powered over the USB bus when connected to your computer, but I'm not sure that means you can charge it up with the computer or if you can just play it on there. And the SD memory card slot is a controversy. My last mp3 player was the RCA Lyra and the memory card and the internal memory was included in the same playlist. That was pretty cool especially because at random mode there is a large different amount of songs you could hear. With this mp3 player, the memory card and the internal memory are seperate collections. That sucks. Especially if your like me and you have roughly enough songs to cover one GB of memory.
Overall, the mp3 player is a nice choice for the money. But there is room for improvement.
Almost all the features a gadget geek would want.......2007-12-28
Here are some good features of this player (the first 3 were absolutely essential for me):
* It shows up as a USB disk drive (as does the SD/MMC card) and understands long filenames and directories so you can just drag and drop files in any modern OS. Additionally, you can swap the SD/MMC card between this player and many others (e.g. some car stereos) without having to reformat the whole thing.
* It can take large SD/MMC cards - I've heard 4GB, and it certainly works with my 2G cards.
* It runs on AAA batteries, so if you run out of charge you don't need to wait for hours before you can use it again. If you get a pack of the NiMH rechargables you get the best compromise.
* If you turn it off, when you turn it on it will have remembered the track and position.
* You can record both voice and FM radio to WAV files.
* Sound quality is good, even with the headphones it comes with - which seem to have been designed more for style than comfort.
* It has a clear backlit LCD screen. The backlight can be set to any of 7 colors, so you can change it according to lighting conditions (green works for me in most places).
Some not so impressive features:
* The hold switch is a little tricky - if it is even slightly towards the lock symbol then the USB access becomes read-only (as other reviewers have noticed). This is easily fixed, however, and to be fair the manual does mention it.
* It shows you time elapsed, but there is no option for time remaining - this is a pain with audiobooks.
* The play/pause button is in the middle, and it's easy to select the next/previous track by mistake. Likewise sometimes it doesn't turn on because you accidentally have two buttons depressed instead of just one.
* If fast-forwarding/rewinding a long file, it moves very slowly at first, and then suddenly you jump 10 minutes in half a second.
* While USB access to the SD/MMC card is as fast as that SD/MMC card is normally, write access to the internal 1G flash is pretty slow.
Currently the best MP3 player!.......2007-12-25
My requirements for a MP3 player are:
1) Use normal AA or AAA batteries. This way my music never stop.
2) A good FM radio included. So I'm never bored by my MP3 collection.
3) SD card slot. Copying files to internal memory is way too slow.
4) File folder interface. Database based like iPod cannot continue playing the next album.
5) Resume after power off or empty battery. A must feature for 15 minutes long classic music and audio book.
Right now, this Coby MP-C683 is the only one fits all above. Before, the MPIO FL100 was the only one meeting my needs, but it was a PIA to copy files as it uses a special format on SD cards. My MPIO is dying; I searched hard for a better replacement, fortunately found this Coby. It is even much better than my expectations:
1) Much better sound than earlier generations of MP3 players. All current low-price players made from China are all very similar, they must be using the same hardware and firmware with some slight tweaking. This Coby has the best sound among others I've tried including GPX and Lasonic. The included earbuds are not bad.
2) Its firmware is also tweaked a little better than the GPX and Lasonic. The stupid thing is: the default screen color is set to red. If people don't realize that they can change it to 6 other colors, they may return this great unit right way just because of this.
3) FM tuner is so far the best, better than the MPIO FL100 that used to be the very best, reception and sound quality wise. I love iRiver and iAudio players, except that their FM tuners always go to mono mode - what I cannot live with. FM recording is not for music though - mono only.
4) The battery spring is much less strong than the earlier generation (C704?), making it no pain to take the battery out. The battery door should be improved in the next generation.
5) Display many languages including east Asian such as Chinese.
6) Decent battery life. A 1000mAh AAA NiMH will last for a day; then I just swap another AAA and my music goes and goes forever.
7) Generous screen. Neat and flat buttons, easy to operate, no confusion and few chance for accident pressing. There is even a light for the buttons!
A tip: once you connect it to your computer, press/hold the side Menu button to change its mode from MTP to Folder. MTP sucks, it is Microsoft's version of Apple database management for music. As another reviewer pointed out: resume feature my not work with MTP mode. As long as you know how to drag and drop files/folders on your computer, you really should never use MTP to manage your music.
This is currently the only MP3 player I can accept. Target is getting Trekstor i.Beat Xtension in few weeks, which seems very similar to this Coby. As it is made from Germany, it might have better quality but it might not support east Asian languages though.
In terms of MP3 players, you pay less for better, unless you are one of those who care brand more than music. Not all the low-price players are good, you need to find out a good one like this Coby. But I can tell you: the very best one is not found from the big brand names such as Apple, Creative, Phillips, Sony, Samsung, Sandisk...
loved it but broke too soon.......2007-12-20
Watch out for this one. I loved this player when i got it. Unfortunately about two weeks past the 90 day warranty the headphone jack broke. I was plugging in the headphones and the jack broke away inside the player leaving it totally useless. Cheaply made and now i know why they have a 90 day warranty.
DO NOT BUY THIS!.......2007-12-17
After couple days using, this device is not recognized any more when connected in the USB. I can not update the musics any more. It is impossible to obtain any support from the manufacturer - they just ignored my requests. My advise is: buy anything else.

Easy to use and great value for the $$.......2007-12-27
This was a gift to my almost 10 year old and she loves it! It is very easy to download songs onto, has pretty good sound quality and is durable. It does go through batteries fairly quickly, although I would say she gets about 10-12 hours of use out of 1 battery, and she mostly plays it with speakers (purchased seperately).
Great buy for the money!.......2007-10-12
Now, I'll start off with the downsides. This item looks nothing like the picture. Well, same color scheme, but its not the pretty picture you see. The MP3 player looks very poorly made. That being said though... I can't complain about it. I didn't buy it for looks. And, for only about $37... it doesn't need to look good. Heck, most companies charge $37 for the friggin' matching armband, but one comes with this sucker... which is why I bought it to begin with.
The headphones that come with it are nice. They're terrible for jogging and such, but for other purposes, they work great. Of course, a smart jogger would've already bought those ear buds with the clips on them anyways. It comes with a battery, and is very easy to operate... even while jogging. It doesn't plug directly into a USB port, but it comes with a foot-long chord that does. That may annoy some people... but I for one don't care as long as I can transfer easily (which I can... no software or licenses required). Plus, it comes with 50 free song downloads, so I won't get arrested and sued for... 50 songs I own/will own.
So, basically, what you get for $31 + S&H is a small MP3 player, with an armband, that holds up to a gig of music and plays the radio. Though it may look poorly made, thus far it has held up well... and the arm band, though a hidious color, would seem to protect it if by any chance it fell (you know, unless you fell on it too).
I'd say get it. It beats everything on the market as far as price for the package is concerned.
mp3 player.......2007-09-07
This was bought for my 9year old. This is perfect, I want one for my other child and maybe one for myself.
Decent MP3 player for the price.......2007-08-24
Decent player for the price. Battery performance is ok. FM reception is awful but that seems to be the only drawback. $30 is not bad for a player with 1 gb of memory. The nice thing is it comes with the armband although the armband I got is a funky tan color.

A decent mp3 player, but not worth the price.......2007-07-14
Maybe I'm a bit bias because this is my first mp3 player, ipod look alike. But after I received the product, all I can said is that I'm glad I didn't paid full price for it. The instruction is not very intuiative and the touch pad is not friendly. The reason I took a chance was because I couldn't find any reviews for this mp3. Save your money and buy a cheaper, different brand with the same memory.
Pros:
slim, light and small. Looks like a nano ipod. The dashboard light is bright.
Cons:
device charges via usb, not AC cable charger. Works only with windown media player 10 software. Cannot create song playlist in the device. All the songs will play in the order you sync. Touch pad needs to get use to or have the right touch. Too hard or too soft won't work. Radio is useless and don't work. Earplug is very uncomfortable and too big. The directory listing in the device is only for show to take space.
I had the device for almost a month now and so far, it is still working. Though, I haven't used it much. I haven't try the recorder and import ebook yet. Not sure about displaying pictures either. The device claims to be able to contain up to 250 songs, I only have 50 songs in mine and took half of the 1 GB memory already. So there you have it.
Worth Its Penny.......2007-06-12
With all the rave over Apple's iPod line and Microsoft's latest Zune (and every other competing big-name joining the music trend), few and far between are the daring consumers who choose to enjoy the lower-priced underdogs as the not-so-popular COBY. After owning mine for about two months now, I can say that I'm pretty darn satisfied with this product. Minus the minor delays (or freezes) every so often, it's a great buy for the price. The sound quality is pretty remarkable (depending also on brand of earphones used, mine are Phillips athletic earbuds, a highly recommended partner to accompany this device). Picture quality isn't bad, either. Another major aspect that shifted my decision to go with COBY rather than Apple (besides the incredible price for, basically, the same product minus the glamour and popularity) was the larger screen size. Apple's iPod proper has a wider screen display, albeit shorter height. Nano's screen is significantly smaller in comparison to COBY's 1.66" LCD color display. Additionally, COBY packs like a Swiss Army Knife. Whether studenting or traveling, the device comes equipped with everything the active buyer needs. The device features an FM radio, voice recorder, e-Book capability, video player, and of course, digital audio player.
My only qualm with COBY is the device's not-so-frequent, but irritating glitches. I've had to reset my device several times, and reformat it twice. On more than one occasion, (formally well-functioning) files became inexplicably encrypted and were no longer identifiable by my PC. I could neither locate the files on the device, nor add new ones (via computer only; the files were present on the player, and played normally, but would not show themselves when explored through a PC).
If you're willing to accept the small risk for a great player at an incredible price, I strongly recommend purchasing the Coby MP-C7085 MP3 Player. It may not have the celebrity of it's ipop-counterpart, but this inexspensive little gadget is well worth its penny.

don't expect an ipod but functional.......2007-12-20
This isn't a bad little mp3 player.
pros: it has a screen, relatively cheap, has radio. The screen image is ok (note, the pic. of the girl is a sticker).
cons: the interface is somewhat non-intuitive. You have to push the left/right buttons to scroll down. The video is a nice feature but it uses .amv (converting software included) which is hardly used by mp3 devices. I've had no trouble getting video converted, lots of trouble getting the audio from the video to play (although I have had minimal success).
all in all: it's not a bad mp3 player. I got mine on sale so maybe that's why I'm not as disappointed. $40 is probably the limit on what I'd spend on this (although who knows what lesser mp3 player you could get for this $). Again, it's not an ipod, but if you can be content with an mp3 player that has a few bells and whistles (but not great ones), it's a good buy.

Tired of listening to your favorite MP3 tracks in private? Turn to the Coby MP-C68347 MP3 system, which not only stores up to 16 hours of MP3 files or 32 hours of WMA files on its 1 GB of flash memory, but also includes a pair of mini stereo speakers that attach to the side for out-loud playback. It's the perfect MP3 player for small apartments, camping trips, or afternoons in the backyard. The MP3 player itself is small enough to fit in the hand, with an ultra-sleek housing that measures a mere 2.04 by 2.83 by 0.58 inches (W x H x D). The high-output, aluminum-cone speakers, meanwhile, are also notably compact, checking in at 4.15 by 4.3 by 1.5 inches. Despite the small size, however, the system delivers a surprisingly big sound, with four custom-designed, high-output, aluminum-coned neodymium microdrivers producing a crisp, rich soundstage.
The MP-C68347 is more than just an MP3 system, however, as it also includes such features as a built-in FM radio and recorder and an integrated microphone for digital voice recording. For those occasions when you need to transport data rather than music, the system handles that, too, with the ability to store JPEG photos, text documents, and more. The mobile data storage function is great for transporting business documents across the country or serving as an overflow backup for your digital camera's memory card. And should the bundled flash memory prove insufficient, the MP3 player also includes an SD/MMC card slot for easy memory upgrades (card sold separately). Simply slide a 1 GB card into the slot and you can enjoy an additional 16 hours of MP3 music without erasing the original content.
Other details include a USB 2.0 interface for ultra-fast file transfers (up to 40x faster than USB 1.0); ID3 and LRC support for song and synchronized lyric information display; support for Windows Media DRM-10 online subscription services; a 3.5 mm auxiliary input for connecting other audio devices to the system; a high-contrast LCD display with backlighting; and plug-and-play support for Windows 98 SE, Me, 2000, and XP and Mac OS X and higher. The MP-C68347, which requires four AA batteries (not included) for the speakers and one AAA battery (included) for the MP3 player, is backed by a 90-day warranty.

Customer Reviews:
Great Value Player.......2007-08-24
I just got this today and it is working great. The buttons can be unresponsive, or just take a while when you push them, but that is to be expected for an mp3 player of this value. This is great if you like recording off the radio, like me.
There are 3 recording settings, all WAV unfortunatly. Low is best for radio talk shows. Normal and High are great for music.
Overall a great value player
