Hi there,
How are you liking your Coby? I think my husband is going to order me one.

> I just received my Coby MP200 MP3 player from J&R, and it is truly simple

> buttons arranged in a vertical column.  From top to bottom, the buttons 
> are skip forward, play/pause/power, skip backward, volume up and volume 
> down.  Pressing and holding the second button from the top for 5 seconds 
> turns the unit on, and pressing and holding it again for 5 seconds turns 
> it off.  That's all there is to it.  The bottom of the unit has a USB 
> connector that plugs directly into a USB port, although a separate USB 
> cable is also included.  You just plug it into your PC and copy and paste 
> the MP3 files you want to download.  Just install the included AAA battery 
> and you're good to go.  The sound quality is surprisingly good, at least 
> using a better pair of earbuds than the included ones.  There is 
> absolutely no learning curve, and no sighted assistance is required to use 
> it.  The included software, which I have not tried yet, is fully JAWS 
> accessible.  With 2gb of memory, it can hold up to 1,000 songs.  This is 
> probably the best blind accessible MP3 deal ever.  It is still available 
> from J&R for $10 with free shipping, but they probably won't last much 
> longer at that price.  They make wonderful stocking stuffers.  The hardest 
> part of using this gizmo is getting it out of the plastic blister pack 
> which requires a heavy duty scissors to cut open.
