does it have an easily-identifiable (by touch) Open button? wish to buy a portable CD playr for someone with vision problems so need one that can be operated almost by touch.

My wife uses hers for recorded books and has no problems with it. she tells me that there are five control buttons - at the right hand end - slightly separate from the others, is the "open" button which has a small triangle with a single underline, so your "friend" should have no trouble opening the player

I didn't buy the Coby cd player. You must have me confused with another customer, I did buy the Coby cassette player and I love it.

Beth: If you looked at my review, you would never even think about this one. The button on the far left side when looking at the picture operates the opening mechanism. However, you should look at one that has anti skip for just a few dollars more. This would work as a boat anchor better than a CD player. Try this one: Coby CXCD329 Slim Personal CD Player with Anti-Skip Protection (Blue) Just remember that they all have problems when the batteries get low. But the one you are looking at is just trouble. Give it to someone visually impared and it is a disaster.Splice Beth: If you looked at my review, you would never even think about this one.

Truthfully, I don't remember because I sent it back so quickly and it was quite a few months ago. It was extremely poorly constructed and skipped at the slightest movement.

I would not recommend this unit for anyone who has vision problems. None of the buttons are easily identifiable. In addition, the cord tends to become loose and pull out of the outlet on the unit without warning, in the middle of of play, which is annoying at best, but a person with visionproblems would find it hard to locate the outlet and replace the cord. In general, the machine has only one asset. The sound reproduction is good, but I hardly use it any more because of the other drawbacks.I would recommend seeking another player.

Yes, it does. The switch to open the player is a little tricky and takes some getting used to. It is located on the left side of the computer and you have to "feel" for the switch to open the compartment.

No. It is a relatively inexpensive boombox to play CDs and audio input via jack. Two annoyances about it: There is a slight quick fade in at the start of each track. And the buttons push hard, but it doesn't way much, so on a smooth surface, just pressing play or skip moves the whole thing a bit on that side.

There are two buttons * and #. You can use them when you listen the music. That is all.

No, It only seems to control the cd functions. The buttons on it are mode, folder+, folder-, skip+, skip-, stop and play/pause.

Hi Sandra,Please pardon this LONG overdue response, but, should you NOT have purchases this product, please DO NOT - ours has only worked properly for a short while. Currently, it skips CDs, even when these are finger-print-free. If you have bought it, consider returning it (latter is what we will pursue). Hope this helps (still). Best wishes for 2014,Marc

Hey Mick, I think you will find what you need in this CD player. It has the following buttons: play/pause, forward/back, shuffle, repeat and program. It also has mp3 folder button. Hope this helps you decide.

There's no touch screen. The buttons are flush but they are indented with a plus and minus sign for the volume control. You could certainly feel the up and down volume.

Yes, just hold the play button for a couple of seconds for activation. It works very well.

Unfortunately, it doesn't come with a remote and I have yet to find one that works with this specific model. The touchscreen controls are very convenient and easy to use, so I wasn't too concerned about finding a remote for it.

Yes, there are 10 buttons on the side & they have indentations of symbols & words on & around them, which makes them easier to feel. There is also the same type of button that says "Hold" on the bottom. It's function appears to keep the player from being turned on by accident (which works out well - if you keep the player in a pack or the tune belt deluxe plus.)

Yes, it works very well without a remote; it has all the necessary buttons (set up/options/audio/subtitles/disc menu/stop forward and back slow and fast/pause/sound control/open/earphone plug in), but just don't have really big fingers! Very nice unit with a sound which can be set much higher than comparable players and it is so light.

Yes, either via the remote or by pressing a button on the top of the unit. When I move from CD to USB, it takes a moment to connect with my Iphone before it can play, but the switch is easy as pie.

Yes it does. There is a code you can enter for 1 button override and touch any button to open. I can't see that being much more helpful than just entering the code however.

Yes, absolutely. It's a nice feature because it's hidden behind the faceplate. The button in the top right corner makes the faceplate swing open and reveal the single CD player.

Not actual buttons... More like sensory buttons like you hover your finger close to. It's pretty sleek IMO. The menu system is pretty easy to use, not too difficult.

Yes, one of the digital touch buttons on the screen (the first one at top) has this property and give you this functionality.
