This would be ny first and I'm no techie... I can download mp3 from Amazon? Is it easy? How does this compare to the Coby>

Good Morning All music placed on the Sony has to uploaded from your PC. If the MP3 from Amazon can be downloaded on your PC, I see no reason why you can not place the MP3 file on the Sony. I have not used Amazon music, but I see no problem. I am not familar with the Coby, so unable to help you there. Enjoy the Sony!

I've only downloaded one time from Amazon, but yeah, it was fairly easy. I'm no techie either. I think this player is far better than Coby. The sound quality is incredible. When Sony makes a product, it is very well thought out. I actually bought two of these players, one for my mother and one for my girl friend. They both love it.

Do you mean the physical size? About the size of a normal USB drive, but mine went belly up last fall. I wouldn't recommend it now to anyone. I have two Magnavox 4gb players that work very well. I love them, but they have internal rechargeable batteries. I wanted a player that uses AAA's so I could take it camping with me and replace batteries. The Coby was supposed to fill that role, but all it is doing now is taking up space in the landfill.

The data needed for the Coby MP3 to operate was already located on the MP3 player. I purchased two at the time. Not knowing any better, before I downloaded my music to one of them I deleted the firmware and that MP3 player would not work. I then copied the firmware from the second MP3 player onto the first one, and now both work.

I first bought a Coby -- incompatible with Overdrive. My only experience is with Sansa -- check BestBuy online; there was a good deal on 4 GB last month. It took me over 6 months to discover how to put Overdrive books into the Book section, rather than Music -- so, I am sticking with the Sansa Clip Zip.

I would agree with the recommendation to use a Clip+. You seem completely uninterested in anything other than just loading your songs onto the device and pressing "play," and for this, I would also suggest you get a Sansa Clip+. It is small, cheap (relatively) and from what I have read, sounds excellent. (If you are, indeed, and old lady and you were not saying that with tongue-in-cheek, then I doubt your ears would be able to discern the incredibly minor difference between the sound quality of almost ANY medium or upper tier player, regardless of the quality of headphones you are using)Just get the Clip+ at Wal-Mart or something, or here at Amazon, and I doubt that you will be disappointed.

I simply connect it to my PC via the USB cable, and it appears as a drive in Windows Explorer. You can drag and drop .MP3's to the device in this manner. I agree with ChefBum, the interface on this unit is clunky, but I love what it's capable of. I may have to check out the GB-10 myself!

I've been searching for this same information. I went to the LeapFrog website and found out you have to purchase an MP3 App to be able to download your own personal MP3s. :) http://leapfrog.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2239/kw/music/session/L3RpbWUvMTM1MDE5NTMwMi9zaWQvazVBcXBHOGw%3D

I downloaded the Amazon Music player (I have it on my PC also), my music library and playlists were there. Plays great on my Trio which I am very much in love with. It is blue tooth connected to a small speaker I keep in my car. No more cd burning or cds that skip, etc. I am searching for an app that will play my music without an internet connection.

don't buy it. Coby went out of business last August and the company that took them over is not providing any warranty values and is not providing any technical support if you have any difficulty getting it up and running. I tried to load pictures and it gave me an "uploading" message for 48 hours before I gave up and tried to get some help. None was available to me. I bought an 8" inch at Walmart instead, so easy and running just fine.

The files are not in the mp3 format that the device likes. I remember having to run all of the songs through 3 different mp3 converters before finding one that it liked. I searched through my folders to see which one I used but couldn't find it. It was a free converter I downloaded from the internet. The good news is once the files are converted and show on the system, your eclipse will be a very enjoyable device. I love mine! But it did take 3 days to get it up and running.

I have only had my Coby for a little over a week and decided that doing the firmware upgrade was probably a good idea. I noticed mine wasn't on the most recent release. I figure that they have probably had a few of these machine instock for a while so the firmware wouldn't be up to date.

GetJar is there to download apps, Its kinda sucky, But you can use the Amazon App store to download from assuming you have an Amazon account. It likes to black screen on follow up uses (like after restarting and such) but you can clear the App data or cache and it will work again, Odd I know, But Coby isnt the best Tablet as i have sadly learned. Returned mine within a month.

Not to Amazon Cloud Player. They used to let you upload mp3s to the cloud but they disabled the feature. (following the lead of mac/itunes to keep eveything proprietary) it's bs...but one workaround I figured is to use google drive to upload your music and there is a nice little app called gdrive (an additional app) that makes it easy to move mp3s to/from the cloud, it also has its own music player. The scam here is to force you RE-buy music you already own in order to listen to it on the go. don't let amazon or mac do this to you.

Heads up for you Faerie :)Zune's software runs better than the iTunes inmho..and its easy to use..Just once click, and you can sync it..be it on USB or wireless..I was using nano before and it took me long time to get used to the iTunes software..Get the Zune and love your player! :)

Hootie, I like my coby but look to see of cobyusa is still on business or you may be buying a product that has no manufactures warranty or updates. I went to update mine and the website has been dead now for 45days.

I'm sorry, but can't help you with this question. But know that none of these devices are going to give you top quality (Bose like and above) listening pleasure. It really depends on the speakers you are using to listen the download from (hopefully not the device you download the music from.
