Amazon.com Product Description
Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand but loaded with features, the Coby MP-C885 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-C885 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- C885 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. And as with the best MP3 players, the MP-C885 offers a number of handy extras, such as a built-in digital FM tuner, support for Windows Media DRM-10 online subscription services, ID3 and LRC support for song and synchronized lyric information display, and a high-speed USB 2.0 interface (up to 40x faster than USB 1.0). The MP-C885, 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-C885 MP3 player, professional stereo earphones, USB extension cable, installation CD, AAA battery, user's manual.

 Amazing little device August 22, 2007
17 out of 19 found this review helpful
I've used this device for about 2 weeks now and so far it has been wonderful. Sound quality is excellent, FM tuner works extremely well, and the storage capacity (1GB) was exactly what I needed. And I must also say that it is a beautiful looking piece of electronics.
When deciding to buy this player, I was concerned by some of the reviews that say it is unreliable. I figured that getting all these features for 30 bucks was worth a shot. So far I have been extremely pleased, but if I do have any problems with this player I will be sure to update this review.
Well Worth the Money June 27, 2007
20 out of 20 found this review helpful
Nothing wrong with it for the money. Does just what I expected it
to do: play music No problem dumping files from my pc to the device.
Turn it on and it starts playing. A small learning curve to allow access
to all the options available - not intuitive. Simple enough when you
learn how. I'm not qualified to evaluate its audio qualities, but it
suits me. One thing though, it could use a clip to attach to clothing.
Update 4 Jul 07
Well the power-on switch broke after daily usage. If you get one of these
players, then be careful not to push on the switches to hard - what ever that may be.
Update 17 Jul 07
After finally talking to Coby (no response to emails), I find that to have it fixed/replaced I must mail them the broken player including all accessory and literature with a money order for six dollars. I'm not
sure if the payoff would be worth the probable aggravation of further
dealings with this company.
Update 1 Aug 07
It cost a total of about eight bucks to send it back. They, Coby, returned me a new one within a week. It works fine, and I'm careful
not to squash the buttons.
Update 21 Aug 07
Well, I've had the replacement for three weeks and it works just great.
I use this one exclusively, and I am really satisfied. In reality, it was my wife who broke the button on the first one, so who knows. She
tends not to force things, but to get a bigger hammer.
Slick, small and infinitely capable October 4, 2007

Allow me to explain my experience with this style of MP3 players:
Mac Vision MA833A 128 MB MP3 Player
This was my first MP3 player, the Macvision 256mb. Slick, black and small, this simple little device lasted me three whole years and would still be alive and kicking if I hadn't dropped it off of my rooftop one too many times. A remarkable piece of technology, it simply played MP3's, easily and without fuss. The transfer system was simple and easy to navigate, and the player worked through rain, snow, being stepped upon and drowned in water.
After that finally gave up the ghost, and believe me it took a looong time, I picked up this:Nextar MA933A-B 128 MB Digital MP3 Player (Blue)
The Nextar 512mb 'blue'
This was not up to par with its predecessor, despite being of the same design, just manufactured by a different company, this device was inferior in many ways.
Nextar re-designed the device's program and tranfer capability, forcing you to use Windows Media to sync your files, and they would appear in no particular order, and you had no control over where they ended up in relation to the other files. This MP3 player was definitely not as sturdy as the original, it broke within two weeks after I pressed the play button a tad bit harder than it was apparently made for.
So, frustrated, I bought this:
COBY MP3 Player with 256 MB Flash Memory & USB Drive
Coby had finally gotten the patents to this design, so I hoped things would improve. This little device was certainly a bit hardier than its predecessor, and it survived for some time, but its program was just as frustrating as the last one, once again forcing you to sync with Windows Media and randomizing your files on you. The glass screen was very fragile and broke within the first month I owned it, making it difficult to see the text.
So, finally after putting up with it for a while, I succumbed to trying out yet another of these devices.
I bought this, the Coby C885 1GB MP3 player.
Hallelujah!
This device not only stronger and more durable than the nextar or earlier coby model, also allowed you to return its program to the original Macvision style, allowing me to finally order my files the way I wanted! I have had this now for about three weeks, and it has served me well. The buttons take a little while to adjust to, but after you do, its smooth sailing. Its as if I have my old Macvision back, with an upgrade in style and funcion!
If you're looking for something sleek and simple, without paying out the big bucks go for this!
small but handy the Coby 1GB November 7, 2007

Being a dinosaur in the download world, I was surprised at how easy it is to work this thing. Had tried my son's iPod and got lost. This was simple. I downloaded from my favorite CD's and have 174 songs on there right now with room for more.

For the price, I feel this is a great product. It is easy to use and multi-functional. I was able to store over 220 songs on the MP3 player and the FM tuner works great. The battery life is also exceptional. I've gotten over 10-15 hours playtime with one AAA battery. The only downfall is that it doesn't come with an accessory to attach it to you while you are listening to it.
