Coby MP-C741 memory card MP3 player

Date Published: 8/20/08

The Coby MP-C741 is an affordable MP3 player for folks who don't need massive internal storage capacities.

Instead, the MP-C741 provides an unlimited memory (of sorts) by incorporating an SD/MMC memory card slot. Cards with up to 512MB of capacity can be used, and of course users can buy as many cards as they wish. Memory cards can also store other types of data beside music files, giving the MP-C741 a second function as a portable data storage device.

The MP-C741 employs a mini USB connection, and it is compatible with PCs and Macs. The unit can record voice messages with its integrated microphone, and it even has a built-in FM tuner (although there is no AM tuner). The sound can be customized with the help of a digital equalizer, which has presets designed to enhance classical, rock, jazz, and pop music.

The MP-C741 has a very clear LCD screen that displays information such as artist name, song title, and album name. It will play for up to 30 hours with one AAA battery, and it comes with a competent set of neckband-style headphones and a carrying strap.

By incorporating an SD/MMC memory card slot, the Coby MP-C741 essentially has an unlimited expandable memory, making it a versatile and somewhat affordable MP3 player.
