This is a nice CD player in that it plays CR-R mp3 discs as well as regular CD-R CD discs. It has a buffer to reduce skipping when the Coby is vibrated, and a bass boost to help weak earbuds sound better. It also has a random play mode.The unit runs on two AA batteries for quite a long time. The negatives are that the display is very tiny, and that the random play only has a few different sequences of randomness. The reliability of my first unit has been excellent; this is my second unit

Old school Walkman-type players have always come with some built-in problem issues. The battery 'box' is never a satisfactory fit and so springs tend to wear out easily. Batteries wear out quick. The slightest fall will damage them. Keeping all that in mind, the Coby MP-CD521 is pretty rugged and, provided you've got some quality headphones, plays back well. The headphones the seller put in are a joke. Perhaps they're meant for a Chinuhuaha, but tyhey didn't even fit our baby's head. If you want something cheap to play your CDs in, I recommend this one.

My dad has macular degeneration, he is getting blind, so I have bought him a player to listen to audiobooks in MP3 format. Coby Player was sent really fast, no problems w S&H. The problem was the CobyPlayer itself - it stops playing after 10 min, I changed batteries every day, twice a day - no result. It is an absolute junk. Finally I had to buy another player of another brand. Coby MO-CG521 CD Player is a waste of money. I learned a lesson, though - I will never ever buy a Coby product again.
They don`t make them like this any longer. Glad to have found one. Great sound, loud enough to hear, not like the newer ones.
