Iomega Hipzip 31311 40 MB MP3 Player

Pros: innovative, easy connectivity, slick looking
Cons: space still a bit limited, hums a bit

There is almost too much good stuff to say about this product (HipZip) to fit it into a review, it needs an article. I tried out the SonicBlue DiamondRio last week, which was my first experience with an mp3 player...I was not at all impressed. After...

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: Nice MP3 with storage capabilities
Cons: No radio capability

Though not a sleek looking as creative nomad series, iomega has ventured out from the conventional storage business and took a big step into the MP3 arena.

So what is so special with this MP3? HipZip uses "PocketZip" also known...

Pros: Inexpensive media, small, good sound, easy to use
Cons: Slightly heavy, player makes noise while reading Clik! disks

I bought my HipZip because of its innovative concept. The 40MB PocketZip disks were only $10 a piece, a fraction of the price of memory cards. I could carry around 5 of them with 200MB of music compared to the 64MB of other players. I found the HipZip's...

Pros: great sound, easy to set up
Cons: battery is tricky to charge, headphones are junk

I bought this item as an open box buy at circuit city for $100. When i got it, it took me about 5 minutes from start to finish to get the software loaded on my computer and transferring music. The sound is great. The same if not better than many higher...

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...

Pros: inexpesive media/rechargable battery
Cons: large as compaired to other mp3 player/ strange sounds

I bought the HipZip new for about $250 at the nerds.net about 4 months ago. I also bought 10 40MB disks for $100. I really like how the HipZip shows up as a drive on your computer and putting songs onto it is as easy as dragging and dropping them into...

Pros: Versatile, Agile, Mobile
Cons: Must remember to recharge!

When I began shopping for a MP3 player, I sound found one thing out: memory is king. With too little memory, you're either forced to shrink your songs, resulting in poorer quality, or you're unable to put more than a handful of songs into memory....

Pros: name
Cons: You be the judge...

Here is the Iomega's user's borad... check it out..

I WISH IOMEGA COULD ATLEAST FIX THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS FIRST ATLEAST -...

Pros: Good interface. Easy to read screen. "Unlimited" storage.
Cons: Bigger than some players. 1 disc may be too small for some.

I bought the Iomega HipZip after trying out the Rio 800. I read a lot of reviews and thought the Rio was going to be the one. Unfortunately the unit I got was faulty. I returned it and picked up the HipZip on sale at Best Buy ($120 after a $50 rebate and...

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: Cheap media in Clik zip discs
Cons: Bugs? INFESTED! Won't hold a charge after a month.

That's what my mom always said, and this MP3 player proves her right. I loved it at first, but soon it began to show its true colors.

The discs are inexpensive, but very hard to find - although you can sure order them from iomega!
...

Pros: Good volume,durable size,ease of use, options for use other than Music, disc cost
Cons: Installation was a real pain!!!! Especially if you've UPGRADED your system from Windows 98*

i did my comparisons..especially after finding this being offered for $149.99. The fact that it could be used for downloading other formats was a prime selling point. I like the look and feel, smaller, not a necessary factor in my life: especially since...

Pros: Compact and easy to carry.
Cons: none

The Iomega HipZip MP3 player is a great buy. Instead of the built in memory it has interchangeable 40mb disks. These are great because you can just make a new mix or just delete the songs off the disk itself. This saves time when you want your songs...

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...
