Good for the price, but poor user interface
The sound quality is good--excellent if you give extra points for the low price. It was easy and reasonably quick to load MP3 files from my PC to the Coby MP305 once I figured out how to get into the correct USB mode. I am also impressed that this unit includes an excellent FM radio--my $300 iPod doesn't have a radio
I like everything about this device higher except for the confusing and limiting user interface. You can set up separate folders for each album or artist, but navigatin...

Very small & light - perfect for my needs!
Here's what I wanted: SMALL and LIGHT, with good capacity, long battery life, inexpensive, and EASY to use (in my way).
I love this thing! It is tiny & weightless. I've got 200+ songs on it with room for more. One AAA seems to last forever. It costs less than the other brands. I keep it in shuffle mode, so I just push the button: once for "on", once for "music", once for "play", and I'm rocking!
I don't use the FM tuner, voice recorder, or use it as a flash drive, so I...

OK enough
Overall, it is an okay product. It's not the most user friendly but it plays music and 2GB is a decent amount. For the price (I think I paid $20) it's been worth it. It plays music and has a built in FM tuner.
I wasn't expecting lightening fast transitions or effortless functioning. There are times that it takes much longer than I think it should to transition. The menu of music is difficult to understand on the player itself. I find that I have to scroll through all the songs to find...

Good idea, bad performance
While looking around for a flash drive with a good amount of memory, I came across this one, with 2GB and a MP# player and all that good stuff. Sounded like a good idea. I got it and started using immediately trying to load information to it. This product did not live up to the hype at all.
1. When transfering files and data to and from it, it takes forever. It said it would take like 64 minutes for a file to load. I used my buddies flash drive and it took only like 45 seconds. ...

Great Product For The Money
I have several MP3 players and for the money this rocks. It has great controls and is very easy to use. I would absolutely recommend for purchase.

nice little player
i like my coby mp305-2g. it is pretty basic, but has some nice features. You can set the screen back-light color from 7 colors. You plug it in your laptop or pc and use explorer to copy and paste your mp3s, folders etc to the unit.
It seems playlists are not supported, but it will play all mp3s in a folder- or all mp3s loaded on the unit.
Not having a playlist feature is something some people might not like.
You can play all mp3s in a folder in order, random, random repeat, all...

not great for audiobooks
The player works fine for music, but I primarily bought it to listen to audio books. It freezes up and you have to sometimes take out the battery to get it going again. Also, the fast forward function isn't very fast. I guess it's worth the price.

Very Nice
First let me say I am a 57 Year old man who has some health problems and was told by my Doctor to start walking... I was walking with my CD player and that was a Pain (big and bulkie) So someone told me to get a MP3 player, I know nothing about them but thought what the hell, Well Let me tell you After I got it and learned how to put songs in I am Thrilled! This item was around $20.00 and worth every penny, It was easy to learn how to use, And I just Love it! I would recommend this to anyone who...

Excellent for the price
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I bought this player for 24$, and for the price is a very good deal.
It works as advertised, and for me is particularly useful that it is powered by 1 AAA battery, meaning that when the power is over, you just change the battery and do not depend on chargers. Battery life is about 12 hours with rechargeable 900mAh batteries.
The size is convenient although it is not slik, small...
