How to Send Your Media to the Coby MP3 Player

I have to admit, I just love this little MP3 player. My 6 year old son is the primary user for this little device. It is very compact and really easy to use. Transferring just about any file to it has been the easiest so far. When you plug this player into your USB port on your computer, the program pops right up. From the program choose the type of file you want to transfer. It offers choices like Music, Pictures and Videos.

First, lets try some music. Open the file containing your music in mp3 format. (See my post on how to download mp3's from youtube.) Then you just "drag and drop" your music file into the Coby program. It will pop up a box that asks if you want to add this to your library. Click Yes. Then the file shows up on the right side of the Coby program. Right click on the line with the music and choose Synchronize. A green status bar shows the progress at the bottom of the program window. Your tune is now added to your player! That's it.

Next, let's do some pictures. Open the file containing your picture. They are usually stored in a format like JPEG. Then just do the same thing you did with the music. Choose the Photo line on the Coby program. Then just "drag and drop" your pictures into the program. A box pops up asking you if you want to add to library, choose Yes. Once you see the title of your picture, right click on it and choose Synchronize. You are done.

Now for the videos. The hardest step in adding videos to this player is putting them in the correct format to begin with. In my post about how to download and keep youtube videos, I mention the program, Youtubedownloaderhd. The beauty of this program is right when you download your video, it offers the option to convert the file to .avi format. The work is done for you in one step. This awesome little player recognizes this format. Open the folder containing your video, and "drag and drop" the file to the Coby program. Click Yes when it asks to add to library. Once you see your video listed, right click on it and choose Synchronize. Now, if you have a video in another format that you want to add to this player, it is still possible. Use a program like Prism Video File Converter, and convert your video or movie to .avi format. Then add it to your Coby program just as described above.

Enjoy all your favorite files on your Coby player on the go!
