Don't be fooled by the low price of the Coby MP-CD455 Portable MP3/CD Player with AM/FM Radio. This is a great-sounding and versatile player that happens to be incredibly affordable. It's perfect on a picnic, at the beach or poolside. (But it's not waterproof so watch those splashes!) It's also great in the kitchen or den.
In addition to playing conventional CDs it can play CD-R and CD-RW discs onto which you've burned your favorite tracks. Because you can fit up to about 200 MP3 files on a standard 700 MB recordable CD you can fit up to about 14 hours of music on a single disc.
The MP-CD455 has the usual play/pause, search, skip, repeat track and repeat all functions you've come to expect on a quality CD player. You can also program it to play tracks in the order you specify. The digital LCD display will help you find the tracks you want.
Of course there's more to life than just CDs. There's always radio! Whether you want to listen to some current tunes on FM or follow the game on AM, radio listening is only the touch of a button away. A built-in antenna pulls in AM broadcasts while a telescopic rod antenna can be extended and adjusted for optimal FM reception.
Whether you're listening to CDs or the radio you'll enjoy great sound thanks to the 100 Hz to 16 kHz range of the MP-CD455's speakers. And if you'd rather listen by yourself you can always plug in a pair or 8 – 32 ohm headphones or earbuds (not included) into the 3.5 mm stereo jack.

I bought this for my daughter because of all the great reviews on here. I wasn't expecting anything fancy, but something easy and small enough for a 7 year old to use. Unfortunately, it didn't work. It would power on but there was no sound. Even if it had worked, it felt really cheap and shoddy.

I have owned this model for nearly three years. It has worked very well for me. I use it to listen to CD's and especially to Mp3's which is why I purchased it in the first place.
My friend needed an Mp3 player so I bought her one, also, which she is very pleased with.
I have owned two other Mp3 players that stopped working

This little unit is great for travel. It's compact and plays pretty loud for it's size. The FM section is lacking somewhat but for the price it's a great deal.

I both listen to the radio on it, and play classical CD's. I keep it in the kitchen/pantry area, so I spend quite a bit of time with it.

My portable CD/Radio player is great because of its size. I teach small children at church and use it for sing-alongs.
