Compact unit connects directly to my thinkpad computer running Windows 10. Also can access with a software program provided.
The COBY mp3 players have always worked well and now the 4 gigabyte player is an addition to the list.
The battery must be charged with a USB charger not just a port on the computer.That said it should last several hours.
Comes with a USB cable and set of earbuds.
Touch screen works well, takes a bit of a press with my finger. Not quite as sensitive as a smartphone might be.
