5.0 out of 5 stars So far, so good!!, October 17, 2006

10/16/2006 - I bought this little player for my 17 year old daughter after she whined about everyone else having mp3 players. I compared prices and bought this one for the price, more than anything else. That was 8 months ago and this little player is still going strong!! I bought a 2 year extended warranty with it, just in case, but it looks like I won't be using it.

This player has great sound, though my daughter uses her own tiny headphones that she already had. The batteries seem to be long lasting and when you hook it up via USB to your computer, it functions like an extra drive. It holds mp3's as well as data files. Via the computer, you can change song order and change song titles. My daughter rarely uses the radio, but says it comes in clear when she does.

This little thing has been dropped more than once, and it goes almost everywhere with a very active teen and still holding up well. I'm considering buying one for myself.

1.0 out of 5 stars Descent Player, BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE, February 13, 2007

I have purchased several Coby products the last couple of years and have no issues with any of them. I bought a Coby MP-C781 in November and it died last week. I emailed tech support and got a caned response 4 DAYS LATER. The email said to reload the firmware and gave a link to the site. NO FIRMWARE ON THE SITE. So I called support. Took 3 number to find one that worked. They told me there was no firmware for the unit and I would have to mail it back to them with a $6 money order. They had no answer when I asked why the email said to reload firmware even though there is no firmware on the website.

I had a similar problem with a Sandisk unit and they only required me to send the unit back and did not give me any hassle and they were very responsive on their customer support emails.

I WILL NEVER BUY another Coby product again because of their BAD CUSTOMER SUPPORT.
