Coby MP-C68347 MP3 Player with 1 GB Flash Memory and Stereo Speaker System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this MP3 player for my daughter for Christmas. The reviews were decent, and Coby claims it's MP3 players are compatible with Mac computers/operating systems - I do not have a PC at home, so this was important. It also seemed like a reasonably priced option, and the speakers were a big draw. My wife & I did not want to spend $150+ on an iPod for a 9-year old's first MP3 player.
I spent many hours trying to get either of my two Macs to recognize the thing was connected to a computer. There was no software in the box, no real instructions for use, and the whole thing was extremely cheap and plasticky. I knew just by holding it, my daughter would never be able to keep it from breaking if she used it more than a few times. In the end, I had to run out to the Apple Store at the last minute to purchase an iPod. Even the cheapest iPod (Shuffle) is a much better & more substantial option. It couldn't have taken me more than 15 minutes to get the iPod loaded with music. Spend the money. Go with any Apple product. They just work - and they aren't junk.

Product Description:
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.
