Not perfect, but good bang for buck.,

This review is from: Coby Personal CD/MP3 Player with AM/FM Digital Tuner (Electronics)
You won't mistake this for a Sony. It's not terribly pretty, and it feels a little cheap. The controls are not models of clarity, either, and the instructions provided don't cover MP3 browsing in enough depth.On the other hand, it's the only unit on the market that has MP3, CD and AM/FM in a discman sized unit. And the price is right. The radio is good, better than the one on my Sony AM/FM discman it replaces. It does a good job of tuning out interference from PCs in my office. Controls for CD playing are fairly standard: youwon't even need to read the instructions if you've ever used a CD player before. Ossasionally the unit has trouble recognising a CD-ROM full of MP3s, and it does take about 30 seconds to catalog all the tracks on a CD before it starts playing. If it has problems recognising the CD, open and close the lid and try again. Controls for MP3 browsing are a little rudimentary. Basically, there is an Album button that walks you through the directories on the CD-ROM, and then you use the search buttons (<< and >>) to select the track. There is also a random play mode that skips through all the MP3s on the CD-ROM, and this is the play mode I usually use. I didn't have to do anything special with the MP3 CD-ROM to get it to read it. Both my old backup of my MP3 directory on my PC and a new CD I burned after getting the unit play perfectly. (Maybe it's not a comprehensive test, but so far so good.) The included headphones are cheap garbage, but this is pretty much what you'd expect for bundled-in headphones. Sound is decent with my Sony ear buds. It's certainly capable of playing the limited range of sound MP3s provide. Overall, while it's a bit rough in execution, it has more features than units that cost twice as much. And for AM radio with MP3 playback it's the only game in town smaller than a boom box. I am satisfied with mine.

Don't Buy,
By A Customer
This review is from: Coby Personal CD/MP3 Player with AM/FM Digital Tuner (Electronics)
The radio is weak; doesn't pull in any normally strong signals. The sound quality is poor. The bass boost is a joke. Cheap looks and controls. Not worth what I paid.

The only personal CD/MP3 player available with AM/FM,

This review is from: Coby Personal CD/MP3 Player with AM/FM Digital Tuner (Electronics)
I have been looking for a personal CD/MP3 player that comes with an AM/FM tuner. This is the only product that I have found on the market. Overall I am happy with it, but it does not have the best audio quality. The sound is a bit flat regardless of source (radio, CD, or MP3). Also, I notice a very slight hiss when playing MP3's.Good points: CD/MP3 w/ AM/FM, low cost, moderate to good sound Bad points: CD too sensitive without ESP, slight hiss when playing MP3's
