AWESOME Alternative to an iPod!
I bought this mp3 player because there was no way that I was going to fork over $200+ on an iPod with 1/10th the space. Also, I have a lot of music files in .ogg format, and I was ecstatic that this player supported them! It's also very easy to use - I didn't even need the manual to figure out how to set it up!

How it works: Plug & Play - it comes with driver software, but Win XP and newer versions of Mac (OS X+) will automatically install it and recognize it as a USB drive. From there it's just drag & drop files from your computer to your player! It supports .mp3, .wma, .ogg, and .wav files, but not .mp4 (iTunes), so you'll need a file converter if you so wish. It has 20GB of space for songs and other files - I use it in place of a USB drive for some of my classes at school. It works perfectly!

Appearance: It's super sleek, perfect size for a cell phone pocket if I want to take it on the go, easy menu navigation, and excellent play quality. Unlike the picture, it is EBONY BLACK with red undertone lights (menu, arrows, play/pause). The screen is about 2 x 1.5 inches & full color - very awesome! The whole player is about 4 x 3 inches, and 3/4 inch thick.

Functionality: This player works super well. Excellent audio & very clear/thorough menu. I've had it freeze on me a couple times, but it's nothing that will damage it, and it's fixed by turning it off and back on. I can't complain - but I don't use it as often as some people would. It's probably too bulky to go running with, but it's perfect for plugging into my computer speakers and just chilling out. It fits perfectly in the cellphone pocket of my purse for those long walks to class. It has a locking function to keep songs/volume from changing if you accidentally hit the touch-sensitive pad. All in all, I really love it!

Battery life: The battery life is a drawback - it gets a max of about 3-3.5 hours. But the A/C adapter charges it very quickly, so it's good to go in less than 20 minutes.

Video/Photos: The full color screen is like a tiny computer screen! I haven't experimented with video yet, but photos of any size are fine. Video specs have to be within a certain screen resolution (I think), and it doesn't support iTunes videos - just .avi videos.

FM Radio: Almost CD quality sound. My favorite stations are local, so the playback quality is very good. I was surprised - usually FM tuners are quite poor in quality!

Other: The only thing I'm having a problem with is figuring out how to make a playlist. There's a default "favorites" playlist that holds up to 100 songs, but I don't know how to create another playlist. It's probably in the manual and I just haven't read it, though.

I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention something about this product, but I love my purchase, and I highly recommend this player to everyone who asks me about it!
Just what I wanted
The Coby MP-C951 is an excellent MP3 player. I wanted one that did not require a special program for transferring music to it. I had organized my music files in different folders on my computer and wanted an MP3 player that would allow me to simply drag and drop the folders in Windows explorer. The Coby MP-C951 is recognized as a USB drive and can be used as such. Navigation is excellent and so is the sound quality. You can also view text files (not pdf files, though). The battery charges very quickly (with the option of charging with an AC adapter or by connecting to a USB port) and lasts many hours. I am very happy with it and recommend it highly.
awsome player and cheap too
This player is great. I bought it because of the price and was very skittish about buying it. But I am in the military and don't have much money. Let me tell you it has lasted in IRAQ of all places. Easy to use and the back it metal so it is durable. I recommend it.
