Title: Coby: It's a crap shoot.
Review: I got this thing a long time ago. It was pretty nifty at first. It worked as a 1gb flash drive that would play any MP3 it found on it, and that's about it. The battery life on one AAA was about 8 hours, so you might want to invest in rechargeables. It sounded decent, was compact, light, and portable. Then after a few months the screen started showing garbage. I could still get it to play MP3's but I could not directly choose the one I wanted. It would lock up, and I'd have to take out the battery to reset it. It was malfunctioning badly. After contacting Coby, they basically told me to change the batteries and don't try to play DRM music. I would never dare allow DRM onto any of my systems, and I've got plenty of fresh batteries for every occasion, so I felt that their response was more or less a brush off.Out of the box, Coby electronics are generally neat devices, but they all reliably fail, so don't get too attached to any of them.
Is the review positive or negative?
