Amazon.com Product Description
Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand but loaded with features, the Coby MP-C854 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 3.6 by 1.1 by 0.8 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-C854 offers 512 MB of integrated flash memory, so you can store roughly 8 hours of MP3 music or 16 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- C854 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 three-line, multifunction LCD display, which displays the song title and artist information. And as with the best MP3 players, the MP-C854 offers a number of handy extras, such as an integrated microphone for digital voice recording, ID3 and LRC support for song and synchronized lyric information display, support for Windows Media DRM-10 online subscription services, and a high-speed USB 2.0 interface (up to 40x faster than USB 1.0). The MP-C854, which runs on a single AAA battery (included), works with Windows 98 SE, Me, 2000, and XP and Mac OS X operating systems and carries a 90-day warranty.

What's in the Box
MP-C854 MP3 player, professional stereo earphones, USB extension cable, installation CD, AAA battery, user's manual.

2 out of 5 stars Product with problems   January 21, 2008
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I bought this product because it is inexpensive and compatible with the New York Public Library's audio books. The first Colby I bought would often freeze randomly (I would have to remove the AAA battery to restart it) and the player would occasionally make a loud electronic squeal and fast-forward. The company replaced it quickly. The second one I received has the same problems, though they occur less often.

To be fair, I don't know much about technology; it's possible the problem is with the audio books themselves. However, I suspect this product has a lot of problems, because it came with a yellow flier in the box saying, "STOP. Need help? Call us! [...] CALL US BEFORE YOU CONSIDER RETURNING THE PRODUCT!"



1 out of 5 stars Not working for me.   November 9, 2007
  4 out of 5 found this review helpful

This is not working very well.
I got it for use with ebooks from
The NY Public Library
It's easy enough to load
but often stops for no reason in the middle of a section
and is very difficult to resume where you left off.
It just doesn't seem reliable.
It is quite inexpensive, maybe a more expensive model would work better.
