Coby MP-C582 MP3 player
by RandomTroll from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6M79V)
I bought a Coby MP-C582 MP3 player on the Bay of e because I liked my old Coby MP3 player so much and haven't liked any of the others I have bought since the original's flashram failed.
Some people on eBay sell the MP-C582 (and other Coby MP3 players) that have an integrated rechargeable battery. (My old Coby used a AAA.) It was brand new, still in its clamshell - but the battery wouldn't take a charge. I wasn't surprised as it is about 10 years old. Coby discontinued its MP3 players years ago, doesn't support them anymore. The seller automatically issued a call tag so I expect I'll get my $15 back.
I haven't seen a review of these anywhere, and I won't be able to leave one on eBay and get a refund, so I'm posting here as a warning to others.
