Pros: A whole LOT of built-in features, fast USB connection, built-in software and drivers allow for fast installation, lots of free extras, excellent hardware capabilites
Cons: It'll cost you an arm and a leg

Mp3 player or minidisc? Both types of digital audio players have their strengths and weaknesses. Mp3 players are small, light, and incredibly versatile with USB capabilities and direct file transfers, but are limited to the amount of memory they have....

Pros: Upgradeable, durable, rechargeable battery, USB, loud and clear sound
Cons: Headphones that come with it

This is an excellent player, the best available in my opinion. I looked around and read every review around and settled on this player.

It has a lithium rechargable battery, which means no costs to buy batteries (Savings #1). It does not have...

Pros: unlimited storage; doubles as removable drive; great MAC support
Cons: headphones poor; no bookmarks

best thing since the diskman as long as napster remains free. Key inovation is the small removable disks (like floppies) that hold 40 MB of data and cost about 8 bux in ten packs. i bought ten of them and i just recycle them. i may retire some of them...

Pros: Doubles as a storage drive, doesn't skip, great sound quality
Cons: A bit pricey for initial investment

The HipZip MP3 player from Iomega is the best player/drive out there. Not only does it play MP3s, it also doubles as a mini-storage drive, so you can store and replay presentations, save files, etc. It can be hooked up to any computer or laptop and be...

Pros: nice size, cheap media, cool looks
Cons: headphones

I recived an Iomega HipZip mp3 player and I really like it. I was looking at them for a while before i decided that i wanted this one. There were a good many reasons why i wanted the HipZip and they are that the memory was cheap, I trust the people over...

Pros: Easy to access buttons, good quality construction, cheap media! (Yay! =)
Cons: Headphones suck, but most stock headphones do... A little expensive..

Okay, so I am an amateur nature photographer. Sometimes to get to some of the more interesting spots, you wind up doing quite a bit of walking. So I figured I'd pick up an MP3 player because:

A. Its easier to make your own mixes that...

Pros: Uses little inexpensive disks to expand music storage.
Cons: Large size. Small amount of music fits on each disk.

Purchasing an Iomega HipZip makes sense if you're the type of consumer who enjoys owning new technology but doesn't care if it still emulates in some fashion the old technology it's trying to replace. Think of the HipZip as a marriage between MP3...

Pros: Small, Big Screen, PocketZip expandability
Cons: Slight pause in between songs, vibrates when accessing data.

My whole MP3 player fascination started when the Rio300 came out. I immediately got one. However, this MP3 player broke numerous times, and I had to keep shipping it back to the manufacturer, and so fourth. Over time, I realized I needed a more durable,...

Pros: Cheap media, good sound quality, built in battery, can be used as a drive
Cons: a slight whir sound when loading, poor headphones

After looking at all of the reviews, I finally decided on the Hipzip. The reasons I chose it is because: It wasn't very expensive, and the media was very cheap. Once I finally got it in the mail (I bought it on eBay) I opened the box, bought a new pair...

Pros: Great looking, sounding, and performing; upgradeable firmware; cheap disks, acts as Zip Drive
Cons: Larger than some other MP3 players, limited per disk storage, don't bother with included headphones

The iomega HipZip is an excellent MP3 player that offers the most bang for the buck.

It's a very good-looking device that comes with a neat body glove Neoprene holster/belt clip. It's comfortable to hold and use the controls. It includes two...

Pros: great display. cool case. good battery. good value.
Cons: small disk size. slightly large player.

Like most people shopping for a portable digital player, I read many reviews, and shopped around quite a bit. I had decided on several things that I wanted in a player before I would purchase one:

* plug and play - I want to be able to simply...

Pros: small, high quality, good features, memory!
Cons: cost, headphones

When I decided I wanted to buy a portable music device, I was doughtful on what to buy. CD player, MD player, or MP3? I did some research and ruled out some posibilities. With a CD player, you have to carry around all sorts of CDs. Even if there is...

Pros: Recent price drop, cheap replaceable media, long battery life, excellent sound, multipurpose
Cons: Mechanical parts

I'd thought the HipZip was out of my range, but the recent price drop was a nice surprise. Given a choice between the HipZip and another high-end player whose 64MB sticks cost more than the player itself, I chose the HipZip. I have not regretted it....

Pros: Comes with 2 40MB disks. Serves as a zip disk and an MP3 player. Has a backlit display. Has a 12 hours long Lithium Ion battery. Comes with an AC adapter. Great music output. Has USB drivers built into firmware. Comes with protective case.
Cons: Lousy earphones by comparison. A little too bulky. Case does not fit snuggly.

You can never have the best when it comes to technology. The simple reason being that the shelf life of gadgets like MP3 players and other computer peripherals is so short. When I realized that I needed a portable music device for the long trips back...

Pros: Great technology for Now
Cons: Included headphones are awful...get your own pair.

I decided to ask for the Iomega HipZip for Christmas this year and so far it's just perfect for my needs. I was a little skeptical at first because of the tiny Click disks. I just kept thinking these little things won't last a day in my clumsy hands. The...
