Customer Review: Great for kids - COBY MP-C341
We had a standard boom box (CD and tape), but it stopped working and we needed a replacement. I initially looked for a boom box that would play MP3 CD-R disks. Besides being very difficult to find and rather expensive for what they did, my wife hated the size and color options. I then decided to find an MP3 player that had speakers (I didn’t want to have separate speakers), sleep (so it turned off for the kids) and was easy enough for the wife to set when exiting the room.

I purchased our first COBY MP-C341 on clearance from a local music store. The COBY fit our needs very well. The four integrated speakers sound fine for the volume we need at bed time. It accepts standard SD cards full of music. Comes with an A/C adapter. 1GB cards give us enough room to provide a very good selection of music. The orange carrying strap is removable and the little clock display works nicely in the room.

Some other nice features of this unit are that it can connect up to the computer through a USB cable, record through a microphone or line-in jack AND encode to MP3 and receives FM radio.

After using the COBY in my son’s room, my daughter’s CD player gave out (it was mechanical and played every night.) I ordered one from Amazon and was happily filling up another SD card with Disney and children’s tunes.

About a week later, trouble hit. The player seemed to freeze whenever the play button was pressed. I checked the manual and found nothing describing the condition or possible remedies. Calling COBY, I spoke with a representative fixated on a non-existent reset button. After looking all over the unit and declaring it reset button free, she asked a colleague and had me hook up to a computer and format the internal flash memory. Worked like a charm. Everything is back up and running and since I never stored anything on the internal memory, no loss of music.

Down side? Well, it does take a little to get used to all of the button clicks to start the music then set the sleep. Once you have it down, things work very smoothly.

The biggest up side? No more hunting for my daughter’s requested music in a pile of CD’s shoved in her nightstand!
