Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand but loaded with features, the Coby MP-C853 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-C853 offers 512 MB of integrated flash memory, so you can store roughly 8 hours of MP3 music or 16 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-C853 can handle that, too, with the ability to store JPEG photos, text documents, and more. The mobile data storage function is ideal for transporting business documents across the country or serving as an overflow backup for your digital camera's memory card. Other details include a high-speed USB 2.0 interface (up to 40x faster than USB 1.0) and plug-and-play support for Windows 98 SE, Me, 2000, and XP and Mac OS X and higher.

The MP-C853, which runs on a single AAA battery (included), carries a 90-day warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saves your spot!, May 12, 2007

By	Daftwooly - See all my reviews

Better than I expected. If you want a dream jukebox, get something more expensive, but I use this for a classroom audiobook player. It is simple for kids to operate, supports folders (in case you have one folder for each ripped CD), and keeps your spot when you turn it off. Drag and drop files from your desktop. It does not have a shuffle or hold for people listening to music on the go.

While playing, a little red light blinks on and off at a slow tempo. Might be annoying to some, but not a big deal to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, October 3, 2007

By	Millicent K. Stearns "Millykay" (Sheridan, WY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I currently have two of these in my house. My young daughters boh have one. We had previously tried the whole portable cd player thing especially after they marketed them with Dora and Mickey and the like. Well that was just too complicated for them and the cds were always getting scratched and they always needed the fingerprints cleaned off of them. Anyhow...I bought a mp3 player for a trip I was going on and after that experience I was hooked. When the one of my girls cd player actually broke and she needed a new one I decided to talk to my husband about mp3 players. We bought this one for less then replacing her cd player with a princess or mickey cd player and there is none of the hassle. My girls are fairly young and I bought one for both of them. They can operate them, they are easier for them to hold and carry around with them, easy for trips and hold all the music they had on cd when I bought it for them. I love these and am now thinking of picking one up for my little sister.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy, August 20, 2008

By	Megan O'Brien (NY, USA) - See all my reviews

Bought 6 of them for my nieces and nephews. NONE of them worked. Called Coby, they ganked me around from person to person and hung up on me not once but twice.
