5.0 out of 5 stars Great Player!
I'm a bit confused as to some of the negative reviews for this CD player. It is not advertised as having a flash drive nor does it say you can play an MP3 player through it. It states it will play CDs with MP3 files on it. Big difference. Also, complaints about the tuner not being digital...nowhere is it advertised to be. People really should read the description of...

This is a great CD player. I've had it for several weeks now and have never had an issue with it at all. CDs play fine and the radio (AM & FM) come in crystal clear. I would definitely recommend this CD player to someone looking for a no-frills player that works extremely well for the price. Compact, light-weight and EXTREMELY easy to use. My six-year-old daughter uses it with no problem at all. HIGHLY recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars not a mp3 player, July 27, 2007
This review is from: Coby CX-CD236 Portable CD Player with AM/FM Radio (Electronics)
I purchased this item because Amazon's description claims it can play mp3 on CDs. It does not do this. It is a good, inexpensive CD player, but not for mp3s.

No USB port as advertised. No tuning indicator that tells you radio frequency. Poor FM reception. CD player and strong radio stations OK.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, July 31, 2007
By Laura (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coby CX-CD236 Portable CD Player with AM/FM Radio (Electronics)
First of all, you can't hook up a flash drive as was advertised. Second of all, I was hoping for digital tuning, which it doesn't have. Also, the little display it has only gives you the number of the song you are on, not the time in the song.

My alarm clock radio sounds better than this one. I would recommend spending a little more money and getting a better one. The only thing I really like about it is that it is very small. It is perfect if you need a travel size CD player.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Coby CX-CD236 Portable CD Player with AM/FM Radio (Electronics)
I returned this product because it was more of a CD player than an AM/FM Radio. I wanted mostly a radio with digital readout and programmable, etc. Returned it. Thank you. MFR

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT an MP3 Player ! ! ! ! ! !, December 18, 2007

This review is from: Coby CX-CD236 Portable CD Player with AM/FM Radio (Electronics)
The product description says "Portable am/fm radio and MP3 player." This is FALSE! It is actually supposed to play MP3 files you have TRANSFERED to a CD. Truth be told it doesn't even do that. It plays regular CD's and the radio but that's it. Very misleading advertisment. Very disappointing product. I could have bought something comparable to this for a fraction of the cost at any local discount store without the outrageous shipping cost. Now, let's see how quickly they get the return done! I will keep you posted. My advise, stick with Wally World!!! Here' a product link, see you you can draw the same conclusion as I did? Coby CX-CD236 Portable CD Player with AM/FM Radio

3.0 out of 5 stars Great for MP3s - use a flash drive or hard drive too, July 11, 2007
This review is from: Coby CX-CD236 Portable CD Player with AM/FM Radio (Electronics)
I had two of these so I am selling one on Amazon. The cool thing with this is that you can hook up a flash drive to quickly listen to music. With 1Gb flash drives for $10 and 2Gb ones for $16 this is a great feature. Makes it easy and cheaper than CDs or CDRs.

I even hooked it up to my hard drive that has my iTunes library on it and it started playing tracks from that. I think that would keep it playing for days.

The sound is not the best but it is also small and cheap so I understand.
