The Coby Portable MP3 CD Player

The Coby portable Mp3 CD player is a great and inexpensive option to regular Mp3 players like Apple's iPod. The Coby Mp3 CD player is cheap and only cost $19.99, and a typical Mp3 CD will hold about 150 songs on it. That's a lot of songs for one CD to hold. Which is one of the reasons why CD technology still survives to this day. A CD will typically hold about 800 megabytes of data.

The Coby Mp3 CD player is very durable and the the anti-skip protection means that even if you drop it or are rough with it then the CD won't skip and the song you are playing will continue playing just like it was. The Mp3 player is a little slow to load on Mp3 CDs though. Regular CDs have the normal loading time. The Coby portable Mp3 CD player is light and easy to carry around, although not as easy as an iPod. The problem with this is the batteries run out quickly, so you want to buy some good old rechargeable double A batteries. Otherwise you will be spending a fortune on batteries.

This CD plays CD-RWs with no problem at all, I have played all different kinds of CD-RWs and it has been able to read anything I have put in it. I have dropped it numerous times and it still works. It even got wet once and it still works. It is a very rugged CD player, and I'm pretty happy with it for only $19.99. It takes two double A batteries to run this thing, like any other standard CD player. The one thing I don't like about it is that the volume doesn't seem to go up as loud as it should. I prefer my CD players to be very loud. I actually think there is some sort of restriction now on how loud CD players and other portable music players can go.

Another nice feature about this CD player is that you can program it to a specific play list which is nice and a feature that older CD players didn't have.

In conclusion, the Coby portable Mp3 CD player is a cheap option to more expensive alternatives and will still hold a good amount of songs. The only downside is that you have to keep changing the batteries over and over again, but simple rechargeable double A batteries would fix that easily.
