Nice player by Jus on bhphotovideo.com Apr 28, 2011

My girlfriend uses it, and she is very glad. It is small, light, and can play songs in random order.

Good MP3 player, GREAT value by Jim Locher "jimlcher" on amazon.com Jun 13, 2012

I wasn't sure if I should give it 4 or 5 stars, but how great a value it is that tipped the scale. It's a good MP3 player. It's a nice size (not to big nor to small) and a nice list of features: plays MP3s and WMAs, equalizer modes, repeat and shuffle. ...

I want to be able to replace the battery myself for free. by TNIC "TNic" on amazon.com May 30, 2012

Other reviews have covered the functional side. Just wanted to note the cost of ownership and convenience. Cost is what all these devices should cost. Let's face it MP3 players go from GeeWizz to Garbage in 2 years. I refuse to buy into subscriber fees. ...

Well worth it. by Zak Druzba on amazon.com Apr 26, 2012

I bought this to replace their slightly older model, which was also 4 GB but a slightly different style. The only thing I liked better about the old one was that it had the standard-size USB plug built-in (like a flash drive), and this one needs an adapter. ...

Serious audio problem by mike on amazon.com Apr 19, 2012

Quoad Toad's review is right on. There is a weird electronic clicking noise in the background of any audio you want to listen to. Maybe this is a defective item but seems like a recurring problem for this model. The clicking doesn't get louder when you ...

Looks great on a computer screen. by Avidmusicenthusiast on bhphotovideo.com Jul 22, 2010

This thing takes FOREVER to turn on and off. Once it finally does decide to start playing it's not that bad, it's just getting it to that point thats annoying. Try not to drop this thing neither. Very light weight and feels like it's built with recycled ...

Low Quality by Mike on newegg.com Mar 19, 2011

I personally prefer a MP3 player design that is like a USB Memory Stick. I was looking for something similar, THIS IS NOT IT. I will personally never buy a COBY device again.

The hissing noise kills it for me by David Q. Trinh on amazon.com Jul 4, 2012

My first MP3 player, a MPIO FL100, lasted almost 10 years. When it finally died, I replaced it with an RCA 2GB MP3 player with FM radio. The RCA is still working. I bought this Coby because I wanted something smaller. This player has a lot of positive ...

For good eyes only by Toripony "Cosmic Possum" on amazon.com Jul 31, 2011

I suppose these devices are ok for young people with good eyes, but I have yet to find one that I can read without struggle (I wear glasses but eyes are not too bad). On this particular device I can't figure out how to list songs in any groupings so ...

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Coby MP315-4G USB-Stick Micro MP3 Player with LCD Display...

Overall impression is nice small sleek unit about the size of two thumb drives side by side, a very compact unit...Good bye to batteries that fail during the least opportune time...Display has some very tiny fonts, may not be a good choice if you require bifocals...
