I bought the COBY MP-CD455 from a store (not amazon) as I needed a portable CD player/Radio for my desk at work. The radio works fine but the CD player is crap. There is ZERO anti-shock and even brand new CD's skip, even without any vibrations. It completely refuses to play my Tom Waits "Foreign Affairs" album as it spins the CD and recognizes how many tracks there are, but then theres just no sound. Finally, I cannot skip through the tracks on most of my CDs as doing so causes the unit to reset. I have to listen to the entire CD to get to the track I want. Unfortunately, I threw away the packaging and receipt before testing the CD player so now Im stuck with this $40 peice of garbage. I sent COBY a pretty nasty E-mail, which not surprisingly they havent responded to. PLEASE DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS, OR ANY OTHER, PRODUCT BEARING THE NAME COBY. I AM VERY UNHAPPY AND AM PERSONALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SMASHING THIS THING INTO A HUNDRED PEICES!
