Coby MP837-8G 8GB 3" Touch Screen Video MP3 Player With FM Radio - Black

Good Value!

I wanted a device to play MP3's and inexpensively. This caught my eye. I'm still trying to figure out its operation as I'm not as knowledgeable with these items as I probably should be. I loaded it up with about 100 of my favorites but it automatically put them in alpha order rather than the order I wanted. Other than that, it appears to have a lot of features most of which I don't need. Handy, though, as when I'm working on my bike, it's nice to hear sounds! I run it on my bike when I go on long trips. Doesn't take long to recharge, either. Overall, pretty good device!

Coby MP-837

I recieved the Coby MP-837 as a Christmas gift, and as soon as I turned it on I hated it! The touchscreen was jerky and as I have large fingers, whenever I would touch the screen, it would select something else. I was fed up and ready to send it back before an hour passed. BUT, the longer I used it, the easier it became. It calibrates its screen to the user and employs resistive touch technology. Once it calibrated to my fingers, it was completely enjoyable. The screen smoothed out and it works perfectly. I do have some complaints about the Photo feature, as it takes FOREVER to load pictures. I found it to be easier to just select the photo I want in the Explorer file. I have had good quality from COBY electronics in the past, and I would recommend this MP3/MP-4 player to anyone who doesn't require all the features of the Fruit brand, but still wants a stylish, functional, and dependable media player.
