coby mp-c885 mp3 is not good %$#^ it would not even power up the first time the vendor I bought it from was great and gave me a quick refund
 Works OK but USB broke July 4, 2008
I bought this player so I could listen to music while jogging. For that purpose it has worked fine. Unfortunately the USB interface stopped working after about a month. In other words it still plays music but I am no longer able to put any new music on it. Others have mentioned this as well so my advice is to make sure you copy over all the music you want early on.
Liked it, kind of, but died June 29, 2008

USB interface failed within 30 days. (Tested on two computers.) Technically not dead, but practically so.
Edit: I tried the reset option of removing the battery. I also failed to mention the poor LCD display. Not what you would find on a cell phone, for example.
I don't know if there is an ideal player, all seem to have a fair number of complaints save the iPOD suffle. But no LCD display? Battery needs to be charged via the USB port? A major reason I purchased my MP3 was to avoid running my computer just to hear public radio archives. And it appears you either have to send the iPOD in to replace the battery or buy a $30 kit to do it yourself. You also can buy a dedicated USB charger. Makes this reviewer wonder why the iPOD ranking is so high.
So far, I'm happy with the SanDisk sansa M250. You can forward or reverse within an audio file, which the Coby MP-c885 could not. Perhaps not an issue if you only listen to music versus NPR or audio books. I'm not finding it readily in the manual, but I see an online program to reset the device. Perhaps if the Coby had this, I would still own it.
 Coby MP-C885 1 GB Flash mp3 June 28, 2008
The second one worked. Coby help line really wasn't familiar with MAC computers. There only suggestion was send it back. My son has a different Coby model that just like this one doesn't recover space when you remove songs with a MAC - does with a PC. Coby apparently thinks iTunes is a fad. The manual is no help for MAC users.
