If you purchase this, be sure to invest in batteries as well.
I purhcased this item and it is okay, with one exception. I have to change my batteries at least every other workout.

Poor Service, Poor product
The unit never worked correctly. It froze up constantly requiring me to take the battery out to change music selections. I tried to contact Coby multiple times. The online FAQs were not helpful and Coby never responded to my emails. Their online call center was also poor. They disconnected me twice after being on hold for 10+ minutes. Another time I was on hold for 5 minutes and then cut off because they were closing down for the night. The two times that I spoke with someone they were nice but not much help. I reformatted the unit and still did not receive performance. A great disappointment.

Coby MP-C596 Review
This player is a super value and ideal for the gym/health club, especially the tunable FM radio feature that enables the user to tune in to the wireless audio broadcast channels for the overhead video screens which are becoming very prevalent. The only caution I will offer is that the ear buds that come with the unit are fairly large (relatively speaking) and some users may find it difficult to keep them in place during workouts. However, The Coby CVE92 ear buds are an excellent addition both from the perspective of fit and sound quality.
