My Zen Stone Plus MP3 player died on me a couple of weeks ago (wouldn’t hold a charge anymore) so I had to go search for a new one. Most people go to Apple when they want an MP3 player – however I stayed on a different route and picked up the horribly named Coby MP305-4G MP3 Player.
Now why not go towards a more expensive product like the iPod line of players? Well, I need something that is cheap enough that I don’t feel bad dropping it in my pocket, and letting it get beat up a little ‘bit while I do work outside. I’m afraid if I got something like an iPod Touch I would be cradling the thing like a new born baby, which for my needs, it just does not fit.
Back to the Coby MP305-4G, it is not a bad little player in it’s own right. Some of the features include:
- 4 GB of Flash Memory
- Built in USB 2.0 Interface
- Has Built in FM Radio (which will probably never be used)
It runs off a single triple A battery, which is a test really to see if I like that more, or the rechargeable battery I had with the Zen Stone Plus. Couldn’t tell you the battery life yet – cause it has yet to run out. Overall, if your looking for a cheap MP3 player you can slap some stuff onto and get back to work – I would highly recommend the Coby MP305-4G. If your looking for something that has tons of bells and whistles, you might want to look elsewhere.
