Buyer Beware! MP3 Player stuck in setup mode

I purchased this MP3 player for my son's birthday and I am very disappointed with it. After downloading some songs and charging it overnight the device was stuck in "Setup" mode and was unusable. I phoned Coby technical support and they told me the device was defective. I exchanged the device for another one through Amazon, and within two days they had another shipped out to me. Unfortunately the same thing happened with the second one. Now I know why the iPods are twice the price. Save your self some headaches and don't buy this product!

First mp3 player.....it didn't even deserve the one star

I so wanted to love this product, since it was my first mp3 player. It doesn't deserve any stars. Like many of you, I was influenced by reviews on here and other places.

Pros:

1. cheaper than an Ipod....
2. small and fit in your pocket


Cons:

1. disconnects easily while conjuring files on window media player.
2. erases songs that you have previously transferred
3. hard to turn off
4. even if you use the software that allows you to convert video files...it's still an unknown format.

It'll almost be a week this Saturday, since I purchased it. I'm going to return, and invest in an ipod

what an amazing little product!!

I recieved my coby mp3 player yesterday. It was so easy to put music on, i took it out of the box and plugged it into the computer and 5 minutes later i had tons of songs on it. Its's an amazing little product and i would recommend it to anyone that doesn't want to pay a whole lot. The touch pad is really neat, and is easy to navigate. And someone before me said i think, that the mp3 player doesn't play the song from where you left off... well it worked for me this morning which was surprising, because this is the first mp3 player that has done it for me.

The only thing that i dont like is that some of the wma songs won't download onto the player but other than that i give this player 2 thumbs up :)
