Well, I want to buy this MP3 player from a friend (Coby MPC641 256MB) but he dosent have the USB conector. So I tried using a mini-usb plug and that didnt work, what other conectors are ther with a plug smaller than mini-usb

Yes, I think I have one for my parent's camera, but since they use it, I can't spare it. Let me check around to see if I can find it online. Meanwhile, you look for a picture of yours to confirm it's what I think I have, cool?

A picture of the connector would help.

Yeah, that looks a lot like the cable I gave away, I think it was to skyone.

I know that usb port, My GP2X uses the exact cable you speak of, So do PsP's. Try searching RadioShack/Maplin for the cable. Or ebay, Just google - PsP usb cable.

Edit:

Okay I did some research for you. It seems the cable you seek is called - 'USB "A" Plug to USB Mini "B" Plug'

Try searching for that, I just used http://www.usbcable.com to look for it, They also sell them aswell but I believe they are way to expensive.

Edit2: Okay it appears that there is another usb cable that is slightly different but goes by the same name as the previous one. The difference is in the Mini "B" Plug shape -

Make sure you get the correct one.

If it's the top one, don't bother with ebay. They're fairly common, as they are the same usb cables used for psp, cameras and many mp3 players. They're sold at EB Games as psp cables, Radio shack as just general USB cables, and probably walmart/target/other stores like that in the electronics section. Why wait (and pay) for shipping?
