Considering who I had in mind for this mp3 player, it had to be a great one. Good condition, so that a little kid could handle it without any worries about it falling apart when he was rough-housing. And it is just that. It's a great mp3 player. I would definitely buy another one if I needed to.
Wont PLay with USB input Car radios

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.
Not up to par

Your get what you pay for. Very hard to switch programs. Buttons are a pain. Would not buy again.
DO NOT BUY!!! 2008-06-13
I have never posted a review of an item on Amazon before, but I felt it necessary to warn people away from this. I read many negative reviews of this mp3 player, but I thought it was only $15, so I would try it. I now have had it for 3 weeks and it has worked about twice. I wanted it for my runs and bike rides, but it consistently does not turn on. This piece of junk sucks. Don't buy it.
ok for the price

I bought the coby 1G flashdrive/mp3 player 4 weeks ago for 23 $, with some doubts. The navigation seems a little complicated,other then that a good product for the price.

coby mp-c885 mp3 is not good %$#^ it would not even power up the first time the vendor I bought it from was great and gave me a quick refund
Works OK but USB broke 2008-07-04
I bought this player so I could listen to music while jogging. For that purpose it has worked fine. Unfortunately the USB interface stopped working after about a month. In other words it still plays music but I am no longer able to put any new music on it. Others have mentioned this as well so my advice is to make sure you copy over all the music you want early on.
Liked it, kind of, but died 2008-06-29
USB interface failed within 30 days. (Tested on two computers.) Technically not dead, but practically so.
Edit: I tried the reset option of removing the battery. I also failed to mention the poor LCD display. Not what you would find on a cell phone, for example.
I don't know if there is an ideal player, all seem to have a fair number of complaints save the iPOD suffle. But no LCD display? Battery needs to be charged via the USB port? A major reason I purchased my MP3 was to avoid running my computer just to hear public radio archives. And it appears you either have to send the iPOD in to replace the battery or buy a $30 kit to do it yourself. You also can buy a dedicated USB charger. Makes this reviewer wonder why the iPOD ranking is so high.
So far, I'm happy with the SanDisk sansa M250. You can forward or reverse within an audio file, which the Coby MP-c885 could not. Perhaps not an issue if you only listen to music versus NPR or audio books. I'm not finding it readily in the manual, but I see an online program to reset the device. Perhaps if the Coby had this, I would still own it.

The second one worked. Coby help line really wasn't familiar with MAC computers. There only suggestion was send it back. My son has a different Coby model that just like this one doesn't recover space when you remove songs with a MAC - does with a PC. Coby apparently thinks iTunes is a fad. The manual is no help for MAC users.
Alot of features for the money 2008-06-26
I've had no problems with this little MP3 player. Plenty of room for lots of tunes, and the FM tuner has surprisingly good range. All devices like this use up alot of battery juice. Most batteries recover a bit of power when the unit is shut down and later turned on. But I listened many hours before I had to replace the battery. Rechargables will definately make this work for you. Arranging songs can't really be done on the unit, but must be done on your desktop computer, though I still have trouble getting them where I want. But still, I managed to get this here for $18, so it was well worth the money.
