Coby MP-C885 1 GB Flash MP3 Player with FM Tuner and Direct USB Drive (Black) 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, an integrated microphone for digital voice recording, 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.

Customer Review: Worked great.. for a while.
Bought one of these for my 14 year old son, who used it almost constantly. Thought it was so cute I bought one for myself as well. After about 2 weeks he complained that the play/pause button (also the on/off button) was difficult to push. A few days later he couldn’t get it to work at all. Given that I paid almost nothing for it, I wasn’t about to mess with sending it to Coby, so I opened it up to see what was going on. Problem was basically a poor design. The little push buttons stand up at right angles to the PC board inside, and when you press on them it strains the tiny little solder joints that hold them down, eventually breaking them. The play/pause button is especially weak since it’s on the end. I swapped units with him and told him to be real careful with the buttons. He was, and was able to get another 6 months out of the thing before the second one died the same way. I guess there’s a good reason that Coby’s products are “budget priced”..
