We thought this would be a nice, inexpensive ipod substitute for our son. He barely dropped it(and it was in the case it came in at the time), and the screen cracked and doesn't work now. I've been much harder on my ipod that gets a beating in my gym bag and it holds up like a champ. I would recommend spending the extra money and just getting the real thing.

I've owned this player for several months and have used it primarily in the gym and I'm very happy with it's performance. After using the touch calibration I have no problem with navigation and the volume switch on the side of the player makes for easy volume adjust. I downloaded several movies in avi. format and transferred them to my player it took minutes. I'm not sure how those other reviewers did it but I didn't use the included software, I dragged and pasted. The video resolution was great for a 50 dollar mp3 player, makes the time on the cycle go quickly. I divided music into several folders with titles and am quite happy with performance. Great player for those who wanted a little more but don't feel the need for ipod prices. I plug mine into my computer at work every night so I really don't know how long the battery life is.

Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5 Great little item at a GREAT price, 2010-09-07
I bought this item several months ago after my second iPod broke down once again, and haven't regretted it since! The touch screen may be a bit tricky sometimes, but it more than makes up for that by having none of the problems iPods are saddled with (constant non-syncing with iTunes, taking forever to eject from computer, etc), and it DEFINITELY has a much better price. Best of all, I can drag and drop any music or videos I want directly into the Coby, which shows up as a regular hard drive when connected to my computer.

The downside is that its "Favorite" folder (roughly the equivalent of iTunes' On The Go playlist) clears almost immediately after you turn it off or let it go into power save mode. You also cannot grab files from folders (playlist) and put them in the favorites, you must go into the All Music section and sort through the whole library.

But like I said, I'm still much happier with it than with my old iPod. No worries about disk fragmenting from disconnecting too soon from the PC and the Coby doesn't get scratched and banged up as badly as iPods do. The screen seems much more scratch-resistant than an iPod's screen.

And at such a low price, you're not making a big investment if you choose a Coby over an iPod!



Average rating of 2/5Average rating of 2/5Average rating of 2/5Average rating of 2/5Average rating of 2/5 Not so good option for the money, 2010-08-30
I bought one last December and broke down last week (less than 8 months after).
Pro: At that time the price seemed to be OK for a touch screen 16 GB player.Now it is expensive compared to others available.
Radio reception is OK.
Video playback is reasonable for the few formats it plays.

Cons:
Very slow start up, When the power button is slided it takes a while to go on, several times it happens that you try it again as it seems that it is not responding.
Very difficult to navigate with touch screen, it is difficult to select what you want, as the response from tactile input is erratic.
Limited video formats to play.
Slow navigation in menus.

Bottom line, I would not buy one today, not only because it broke down but because it has some annoying interface problems (power on, touch screen)
