Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Coby MP-CD500 is a portable CD/MP3 player which will play audio CDs, CD-R/RW discs and MP3 files. The player runs on two AA batteries. With the low battery alert, keeping ahead of run-down batteries is a cinch. With the forty second anti-skip protection, the MP-CD500 is a good choice for runners and walkers. The anti-shock system also might interest users who will use the player in conjunction with a vehicle's cassette player. Coby has integrated a Dynamic Bass Boost System to enhance the overall listening experience, thus helping counter the tendency of headphones to run bass-low. The sixty-four track programmable memory will allow a listener to individualize a MP3-formatted CD, perfect for an extra hard workout. Additionally, if you connect the player to a stereo, the sixty-four programmed tracks will keep you listening for quite a few hours. With the included AC adapter it is possible to charge rechargeable batteries (not included) automatically. Remember to turn off the charger if you are not charging batteries to avoid damaging the player and/or the batteries. Other features of the player include: hold, resume, repeat and random play.

1.0 out of 5 stars caveat emptor, June 9, 2003

I guess the 90-day warranty says it all. My unit performed well for about that period and then gradually got worse.

Now it refuses to play almost any CD I put in it. When it works, it occasionally has highly distorted output, will get confused in the middle of a disc or will just switch off.

It's pretty much unuseable now.

So I go the Coby web page figuring it's still within a year of purchase, only to learn that after three months you're on your own.

I've had mine for almost 2 years and have had no problems at all. Kind of hard to believe since it gets tossed around my backpack a lot. I can burn over 100 mp3's to a cd-rw. Great for long road and plane trips. The included headphones are uncomfortable and the search feature is a bit difficult to use, but it sounds good and for the price, nothing beats it. I like it a lot.
