From the product description, it sound like this player only supports MP3
and WMA. But what do you expect for only $10?

Subject: [Blind-Computing] More About Coby MP3 Player
Well, it turns out that the Coby MP200 MP3 player may be blind accessible
after all. I did a little research, and discovered that the Coby MP200 is
similar in design to the discontinued Creative Zen Stone that caused such
a
stir in the blind community when it was first introduced a couple of years
ago. Like the Zen Stone, the Coby MP200, which is about the size of a
pack
of chewing gum, has a concentric ring surrounding a Play-Stop/Power button
on its front panel. Pressing and holding it for 5 seconds turns the unit
on. Pressing the top of the ring increases the volume, and pressing the
bottom of the ring decreases the volume. Pressing the right side of the
ring skips to the next track, while pressing and holding it scans rapidly
forward through the current track. Pressing the left side of the ring
skips
to the previous track,, while pressing and holding it scans rapidly
backward
through the current track. That's it. It has no display screen or
navigation menus to deal with, just a LED power indicator. Unlike the Zen
Stone, the Coby unit has no shuffle play mode, so you can only listen to
tracks in the order they were downloaded, which, presumably, can be easily
accomplished using simple Copy and Pate command. With 2gb of memory, it
has
twice the storage capacity of the Zen Stone, and as an added bonus, it can
be used as a flash drive for data storage. It plugs directly into a USB
port, but also includes a separate USB cable as well as a set of earbuds.
It runs on a single replaceable AAA battery (included) which is said to
provide up to 8 hours of playing time, rather than a sealed,
nonreplaceable
rechargeable battery, which, for me, is a big plus. So I went ahead and
ordered one from J&R. For ten bucks with free shipping, how can you go
wrong?
